A Chinese scientist approached us for assistance in filing his I-140 NIW application. To succeed, the petition needed to demonstrate that his research is of national importance and holds substantial merit. After a preliminary check on the client’s background, we recognized him as a highly qualified applicant for these visa categories, as his credentials strongly align with USCIS requirements.

With a Ph.D. in computer science, our client concentrates on developing AI models for analyzing and generating complex data modalities to solve scientific problems and create innovative business products. Upon reviewing his credentials, we found that he possesses numerous outstanding academic records.

❖ He has authored 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (both co-first-authored), 12 peer-reviewed conference articles (including 4 first- and 1 co-first-authored), and 2 preprints (1 co-first-authored), collectively cited 1,079 times across at least 46 countries, as per Google Scholar. This citation record highlights the wide recognition and reliance by other scholars on his work, ranking him among the top 1% of highly cited authors in the field of computer science over the past 4 years.
