Success Stories: EB1A Approval for a Research Scientist in the field of Computer Networking in 1 month

 

On July 19th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) for a Research Scientist in the field of Computer Networking (Approval Notice)


General Field: Computer Networking Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scientist National Origin:  India Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing:  California Approval Notice Date: July 19, 2013 Processing Time:  1 month (1 day after upgrading to Premium Processing Service)


Case Summary:

The client in this case was a research scientist in the field of computer networking. His research had primarily focused on measuring and modeling the topological structure of the Internet. His work had resulted in at least 5 scientific journal articles, 19 conference publications, 1 patent and 1 pending patent, and 2 technical reports. His publications had garnered at least 627 citations at the time his case was filed, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim.  In addition, our client had reviewed at least 29 papers for 9 journals and 9 conferences related to the field of Computer Networking. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “All three of his models are based on real-world observations and are therefore predictive of the Internet’s future, which is mainly how [client] has earned his authority status so quickly in this field. With his ongoing input, Internet researchers are better equipped to predict and account for the Internet’s constant evolution, and parameterize their own models and analysis with inputs drawn from the real world.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of computer networking, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 day after upgrading to Premium Processing Service.
