Case Summary:

An assistant professor from Vietnam hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) for help with the first step of the green card process: filing an I-140 petition. Although we initially determined that EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) would be a good option for him, our client expressed interest in EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers). As this is an employer-sponsored visa category, he had to ensure that his employer—a university—was fully willing to support his petition. After securing his university’s support, an attorney-client relationship was established and we got to work putting together a strong EB-1B petition for our client. Here are some of the petition’s key points:

1 .We detailed our client’s academic achievements, most notably his Ph.D. in Robotics. This served as evidence that he is fully capable of carrying out impactful research in the field of computer science.

2. Special attention was also paid to our client’s 26 well-received publications, the 765 citations to his work, and the over 50 times he judged the work of fellow computer scientists.

3. Based on our client’s well-prepared research summary, we determined that his work on computer vision and machine learning is applicable to various American sectors such as information retrieval, national security, disaster prevention, human-computer interaction, automotive safety, disease diagnosis, and a variety of other areas. The extensive utility of our client’s research makes him an important asset to the United States, and that interrupting his work in the country would not bode well for the nation.

To support our client’s professional and scholarly accomplishments, we incorporated recommendation letters offered by other computer scientists into the petition packet. These letters furnished the USCIS with additional proof that our client’s work is valued not just by his employer, but by various other researchers in the field. This is what one of them had to say about his work: “As a fellow computer scientist working on similar problems, it is obvious to me that [Client] has attained a spot at the very top of the field of computer science. His work, as I stated, has earned considerable scholarly acclaim, and he has had influence on countless researchers. His approaches and algorithms are all remarkably innovative, and have provided solutions to important problems, leading to applications such as self-driving vehicles and automatic depression detection systems.”

Long road to petition approval:

Although we presented a strong EB-1B case to the USCIS, we encountered several speed bumps along the way. For instance, we raised two service requests after the average processing time went beyond what was expected. As the USCIS took such a long time to review our client’s case, he elected to upgrade his petition to be adjudicated under Premium Processing 10 months in. This turned out to be a good move as the USCIS approved his EB-1B petition 14 days after the upgrade. We congratulate our client on this milestone, and wish him well as he continues to progress the field of computer science.
