Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much! I appreciate the help in constructing a petition letter that covered all aspects of my background in the best way possible and therefore led to the I-140 approval in such a short time. I would not have been able to put forth such a carefully drafted and precise petition myself.”
On September 9th, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Vice President in the Field of Machine Learning (Approval Notice).
General Field: Machine Learning
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Vice President
Country of Origin: India
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: India
Approval Notice Date: September 9th, 2021
Processing Time: 27 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
Our client holds a Ph.D. in machine learning, and he has been researching for many years on developing artificial intelligence systems for financial compliance and security. We concluded that his substantial background in predictive modeling, natural language processing, time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and deep learning has allowed his research to be fundamentally transforming and socially beneficial for artificial intelligence technologies. Therefore, his research is needed to protect endangered wildlife species from illegal poaching and fishing activities, support ecosystem diversity, and reduce both urban and white-collar crime.
Our client from India hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him construct an influencing EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf to be presented to the USCIS. Since our law firm has unmediated information on how USCIS adjudicates employment-based petitions and has a notable record of more than 25K approved I-140 cases, our sole purpose was to acquire our client’s EB1A visa by demonstrating his qualification and professional background as uniquely as possible.
Thus, we started it off by recording the 717 times his published work i.e., 23 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 peer-reviewed book chapters were cited by many other established researchers in at least 42 countries. This exceptional quantity of citations denotes the utility and reliability of his published research, as it indicates that other researchers in countries around the world have utilized his work. Moreover, it solidifies his extraordinary position in his field. In addition, his expertise has been recognized by other researchers, seeing his history of peer review service since he has conducted review service for many conferences and journals 47 times. His repeated review service signifies his status as a leader within the field.
To amplify his petition packet further, we included 4 recommendation letters obtained by him from fellow experts stating how our client’s many research efforts have progressed the field and it is highly apparent that the United States only stands to benefit from his continued work. Two of his recommenders stated the following:
“[Client's] ongoing contributions through his role as Vice President (Big Data & Machine Learning) in Core Engineering are invaluable to both his employer and the United States in terms of identifying, reporting, and even preventing illegal activities that target the national, and global, market. His unique skillset in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing makes him an irreplaceable asset to the United States...”
“In light of his contributions, it is abundantly clear that [client] has advanced the field of machine learning to a greater extent than the majority of his peers. He has therefore surpassed any reasonable expectations for a machine learning researcher, which is why his work must be permitted to continue without obstruction or delay.”
Gladly, he received his EB1A approval just 27 days after we filed his case. We are happy to be able to assist our client to the fullest extent, and we genuinely congratulate him on this wonderful breakthrough.
