“I am so happy to hear the news about my EB1A approval. Thanks so much for all the efforts that you put in to create my petition. I am so relieved with the outcome.”

Case Summary:

When our client, an Indian senior machine learning scientist with a doctoral degree in computer science, approached North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) for assistance with EB-1A filing, we first evaluated his credentials. We were impressed with the 18 peer-reviewed journal articles he had published and the 759 citations that they had obtained. Moreover, the fact that he had conducted 120 peer reviews further showcased his respected standing in the field.

Based on our client’s aforementioned research achievements, we decided to represent his EB-1A case. After countersigning the legal agreement, we started assembling a well-structured petition that consisted of his scholarly contributions, recommendation letters, and other evidence of his extraordinary ability.

“All told, [client] is an invaluable contributor to computer science. His work on foreground segmentation and propagation in video improves the speed and accuracy of pixel-based propagation methods, as well as provides a new standard for other researchers to benchmark their systems. If [client] were to no longer work in the United States, progress in the field will surely be stymied.” This statement was taken from a recommendation letter in support of our client’s EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. Several other experts also contributed recommendation letters, all of which provided the USCIS with a clear picture of our client’s expertise in the field of computer science.

We also demonstrated that our client’s research addresses some of the United States’ most pressing issues in developing novel algorithms for object detection and segmentation from images and video. We persuaded the USCIS that his research directly aids the American scientific community and his achievements are of the utmost importance due to their contributions to the field of computer science.

In addition to carefully assembling the required documents to file the EB-1A petition on behalf of our client, our team has included customized figures and tables for visualization to indicate that our client’s publications have been cited at a much higher rate than those of other researchers in the field, distinguishing him from his peers. The visual presentation of the data has indeed further demonstrated and supported the argument in the petition letter drafted by us.

We congratulate our client for securing an EB-1A petition approval and we thank him for choosing to work with our law firm. It was a pleasure helping him with the first step of the green card process and we wish him the best with his continued research in the United States.
