On January 16, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Research Associate in the Field of Biomedical Informatics (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Minnesota
Approval Notice Date: January 16th, 2015
Processing Time: 28 Days (14 Days After Requesting Premium Processing)
In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a biomedical informaticist from China whose highly specialized work focused on optimizing medical literature mining, information retrieval, named entity recognition, topic modeling, and bibliometric analysis. He had produced 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and given 23 papers and presentations at national and international conferences; altogether our client’s work had received no fewer than 159 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, showing its major significance within his field. He had also reviewed at least 40 manuscripts for at least 2 prominent, internationally-circulated journals and at least 4 top-ranked conferences. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s superior level of expertise: “In a medical informatics setting, patient discharge summaries with detailed medical information are rich resources for clinical record text mining, but only if the different entities can be reconciled to properly represent the patient’s history. [Client’s] tool does just this and does so in a manner that reflects the way the human brain processes linguistic information.” 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 Biomedical Informatics, 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 28 days.
