On July 3rd, 2013, we received another EB1B Approval for a Senior Research Scientist in the Field of Computer Science and Engineering (Approval Notice)

General Field: Computer Science and Engineering Petitioner: Premier research corporation Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Research Scientist National Origin: India Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: South Carolina Approval Notice Date: July 3, 2013 Processing Time: 15 weeks

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is four to six months. But on many occasions, we have had cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

At Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received an EB1B approval for a senior research scientist in the field of computer science and engineering. The beneficiary’s work focused on the study of catalytic converter modeling and simulation on emerging personal computers and small clusters, scaling numerical libraries to emerging computer architectures, and extraction, adaption, and summarization of instructional video content for e-learning. Successful research in this field of endeavor (computer science and engineering) develops a better understanding of current trends and new applications for computer technology, thereby improving such diverse areas as environmental detoxification, pollution abatement, and education. The petitioner in this case is a premier research corporation, frequently collaborating with the US government, located in Dayton, Ohio. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability and high level of expertise, as well as his impressive record of achievements, provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. Furthermore, he had at least 4 peer-reviewed scholarly articles accepted or published in leading journals and numerous conference proceedings and presentations. His publications have been cited at least 60 times by researchers around the world. An independent recommender noted the following regarding the beneficiary’s scholarly articles published in internationally circulated journals, “[Computer science] has the second-lowest citation rates among all sciences. The bearing of a computer scientist on his or her field is most-often measured by the implementation of their algorithms, their methods, or other computation-based mathematical formulations. Despite this, his peer-reviewed articles and conference publications have still been cited over 50 times. Since his work is both highly-cited and being used by other computer scientists, [the beneficiary] easily surpasses the minimum requirements to be considered a leader in the field.” It was our goal to prove that the beneficiary qualified for classification as an Outstanding Professor or Researcher given the international recognition of his outstanding achievements.
