Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you for your support.”

On January 3rd, 2018, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas

Approval Notice Date: January 3^rd, 2018

Processing Time: 8 Days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Thanks to Premium Processing (PP), an assistant professor from China only had to wait 8 days to receive notification of EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval. PP is an add-on option that allows petitioners to have action taken on their cases within 15 days. All they have to do is pay the USCIS an additional $1,225 and submit Form I-907.

So what did our client’s winning EB1A petition contain? For one, it included six recommendation letters signed by other prominent experts in the field of computer science. These letters served as subjective evidence that our client is an asset to the United States and that he should be allowed to continue his research in the country unhindered. This is what one of the recommenders had to say about our client: “[Client’s] leadership indicates that he is a crucial member of the computer science community in the United States.”

Further, our client’s EB1A petition contained information on the 133 times his 8 publications were cited, and the 21 times he assessed the work of his peers for numerous scientific journals. These impressive achievements played a role in convincing the USCIS that our client deserved to get one step closer to green card success.

Arguably the most important element of our client’s petition detailed his work on computer vision and interpretation of human signals to facilitate human-computer interactions. We worked hard to convince the USCIS that our client’s efforts address some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding computer object recognition, which can be used to allow for easier and more natural human-computer interactions, providing considerable benefits to all computer users.

We are pleased that our client secured EB1A petition approval and chose to retain our I-485 services to help him adjust his status for permanent residence. We thank him for working with us and wish him the best as he continues to progress the field of computer science.
