Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Software Engineer from China in the field of Computer Science. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of, first, the development of a hierarchical, self-organizing approach for activity pattern learning and its application in anomaly detection, activity prediction, semantic-based surveillance video retrieval, and traffic accident prediction; second, the fabrication of an intelligent robotic and sensor system for residential assisted living by means of introducing a series of technologies based on a distributor sensor network and unique mobile manipulator. His work had resulted in 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 1,070 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 13 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “In closing, I will reiterate that [Client] is an irreplaceable researcher in computer science, who has risen to the top of his field. His work benefits the United States and the international community.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Computer Science, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 24 days.
