Country of Origin: China

Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: China

Approval Notice Date: February 1^st, 2023 (NIW) and February 20^th, 2023 (EB-1A)

Case Summary:

A research scientist contacted our law firm to help him establish his significant contributions to the U.S. by filing for an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. He even retained our services to construct another petition under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category. We presented his exceptional professional background and unparalleled experience necessary to his current and future work at USCIS.

Upon reviewing his credentials, we found that our client after completing his Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering is currently employed outside the US. We highlighted the following key essentials to make his case successful:

His work has resulted in 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles.
His publications have been cited by researchers 563 times in at least 48 countries.
He has conducted at least 66 reviews for at least 5 journals and conferences.
His study has been supported by funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) symbolizing that the client’s research clearly advances national scientific priorities.

Specifically, he intends to pursue his research as a research scientist. He is aiming towards improving recommendation algorithms and federated learning to enhance the quality of personalized content recommendations while maintaining the security of user information.

Also, the following statement is excerpted from the four recommendation letters submitted:

“Contributions like these to machine learning, alongside [the client’s] other noteworthy publications and his employment in one of the world’s elite companies engaged in machine learning, clearly separate him from other scholars as one of the field’s best. He performs exceptional work, and considering that I and other scientists have made ample use of his research, it is clear that he is providing top-notch contributions to our shared field of machine learning.”

The evidence in the aggregate thus demonstrates his national and international acclaim and position at the very top of his field.

We would like to congratulate him on securing both the I-140 approvals and thanks to the Premium Processing service upgrade for his EB1A case, which was adjudicated in only 1 month, 21 days. We thank him for retaining us for his I-485 application, and we wish him to receive his green card as soon as possible.
