Success Story: RFE Resolved, O1A Approved: A Robotics Engineer’s Successful Petition

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you for your outstanding work throughout the process.”


On November 21st, 2025, we received another O1-A (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement) Approval for a Software Engineer in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).


General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing:  Software Engineer

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the time of Filing: Nebraska

Approval Notice Date: November 21st, 2025

Processing time: 2 months, 6 days (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:  

One expert described our client’s impact by stating that his work “refining robotic autonomy and operational efficiency is instrumental in preserving the U.S.’s competitive stance in advanced autonomous technologies.” This endorsement reflected the core of the case NAILG presented. Our client is a computer science researcher whose work directly supports safer, more reliable robotic systems. His O1A petition faced an RFE, but after NAILG submitted a clear and focused response, USCIS approved the case in just over two months.

With a Ph.D. and an M.Sc. in Computer Science, our client has developed methods that improve how robots plan motions, navigate complex environments, and interact with people. His research has been published in 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles and cited 67 times, showing that his ideas are actively used by other researchers working in robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.

NAILG also highlighted his extensive record of judging the work of others. He has completed at least 30 reviews for respected journals and conferences, a clear sign that editors trust his expertise. This evidence satisfied the O1A criterion for participation as a judge of the work of others and supported his standing as a recognized specialist in robotic autonomy.

The RFE in this case did not question his extraordinary ability. Instead, USCIS sought additional clarification on the terms and duration of his employment with his employer. NAILG responded with updated letters from the company confirming his current role, his duties, and the employer’s commitment to retaining him throughout the full requested validity period. This direct evidence fully addressed the officer’s concerns and demonstrated compliance with the O1A requirement to show ongoing work in the field.

Once the RFE concerns were resolved, USCIS acknowledged that the original record already established our client’s extraordinary achievements. His publications, citations, major contributions to robotic design and autonomy, and extensive peer review history collectively demonstrated sustained acclaim in the field. The agency approved the petition, allowing him to continue advancing robotic autonomy and supporting U.S. leadership in emerging technologies.

NAILG is proud to have guided this case to approval and to support a researcher whose work directly contributes to more capable and efficient autonomous systems in the United States.
