On September 25^th, 2023, we received another EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Business Analytics (Approval Notice).

General Field: Business Analytics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor

Country of Origin: India

Approval Notice Date: September 25^th, 2023

Processing Time: 7 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

The EB-1B visa is an immigrant visa intended for professors and researchers who are outstanding in their given field, requiring at least 3 years of teaching or research experience within the field. Also, they must be willing to work for an American institution of higher education, or as a researcher for a private employer. The EB-1B also allows the holder to get a green card for themselves, their spouse, and their children under 21 years old.

Our firm was hired to assist in filing for the EB-1B of an assistant professor from India. Our team’s analysis found that the client’s research focuses on the use of statistical machine learning techniques in developing pattern detection and business analytics tools for improving clinical care, hospital operations, handling public health crises, and policymaking. This research could assist the United States by allowing for a better understanding of data patterns that reveal public health threats and health disparities. Our team concluded that his work has merit and is of importance for the United States, and agreed to take him on as a client, with his petition package being customized to showcase the significance of his contributions, as well as his qualifications and successes. His EB-1B petition packet consisted of the following details:

Our client has a good publishing record with 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles and one book chapter, published in a variety of highly rated peer-reviewed journals.
Moreover, our client’s work has also been cited 201 times at the time of filing, demonstrating the value of his work as it has influenced the research of many others.
In addition, we have documentation showing that he had been invited to conduct peer reviews himself in several acclaimed journals. His contributions in this regard are significant, having conducted a total of 100 peer reviews at the time of filing. This is a number far above average and showcases his prestige as a researcher to have judged the work of so many other experts.
He has also received letters of recommendation from 4 experts in his field, 1 of whom said:

“[Client] has interdisciplinary abilities to innovate methods that bridge between technology and management, and push both fields forward. There are very few researchers who have successfully combined highly complex causal inference techniques with machine learning methods and thus [Client]’s research abilities are highly rare. As he is clearly a leader in our field who has earned international recognition, it is essential that the United States support [Client]’s ongoing efforts.”

With help from the USCIS’s premium processing service, we were able to secure approval for his EB-1B petition in a matter of 7 days. We wish him the best in his future endeavors and thank him for putting his trust in our firm.
