On August 8th, 2025, we received another EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Field of Educational Technology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Educational Technology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Country of Origin: Iran
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts
Approval Notice Date: August 8th, 2025
Processing Time: 3 months, 22 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
A researcher specializing in engineering education and educational technology recently earned approval for her EB1A petition, a milestone achieved after the issuance of a Request for Evidence. Having previously secured NIW approval with NAILG, she returned to our team to prepare her EB1A filing. With premium processing, her case moved from filing to approval in under four months, ultimately receiving a favorable decision once NAILG submitted a comprehensive RFE response.
Her work examines how emerging technologies, from multimedia learning tools to immersive instructional systems, can enhance the design, delivery, and evaluation of educational experiences. Through these investigations, she has become recognized as an authority in her area, particularly for her studies on infographics, instructional video design, flipped learning models, and technology-supported sustainability education.
Her academic contributions include
- 11 peer-reviewed journal articles, 6 of them first-authored, 1 first-authored journal article under review, 4 peer-reviewed conference papers and 3 accepted conference papers, and 2 book chapters
- 2 editorial roles
- 444 citations to her published research
- At least 26 completed reviews for academic journals and conferences
Her influence within educational technology is reflected in the significance of her research and the endorsements provided by independent experts. One recommender emphasized:
“Essentially, [Client]’s pioneering interrogation of these educational technologies provides educational policy makers and teachers with the necessary knowledge to implement these emerging technologies.”
In response to the RFE, NAILG demonstrated that her peer-reviewed scholarship ranks among the most influential in her field, with several of her publications outperforming citation averages by wide margins. We also established her role as a trusted evaluator of scientific work and highlighted her original contributions that have driven research advances around the world. Her record clearly met the regulatory criteria for judging the work of others, original contributions of major significance, and authorship of scholarly articles.
Thanks to the strength of her achievements and the detailed documentation prepared for the RFE, her EB1A petition was approved, marking her second successful immigration outcome with NAILG.
This approval confirms her status as a leading researcher in educational technology and engineering education. Her ongoing work continues to shape understanding of how technology-supported learning environments can improve instructional outcomes, inform future educational policy, and foster innovation in STEM education. NAILG is honored to have supported both her NIW and EB1A journeys, and we look forward to the continued impact she will make in the United States.
