General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant Professor

Case Summary:

In this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case, a research assistant professor hired us to file an I-140 petition on his behalf. Although he initially chose not to file his case under Premium Processing, he changed his mind a little over two months later. North America Immigration Law Group helped him upgrade his case and the USCIS responded by granting their approval just 10 days later. However, the USCIS made a typographical error and we raised a service request on our client’s behalf to rectify the problem. As we handled all communication with the USCIS, our client was able to focus on developing new models and frameworks to study pathogen transmission and to improve the performance and validity of computational models.

Our client has published 6 journal papers that have amassed over 280 citations. He has also conducted more than half a dozen reviews for several high impact journals. Our legal team demonstrated the relevance of our client’s insights to not just the scientific community but to the United States. We proved that his work in the field of computer science addresses the nation’s most pressing issues in understanding how infectious disease is spread and how information is best collected and classified. We supported this claim by including testimonials contributed by specialists in the field. One of these experts wrote, “The formal verification and validation models in particular are extremely important for the computer technology industry and all who utilize these products […] Ultimately, [Client’s] ability to generate computer models with applications across countless industries and areas of research highlights him as an invaluable asset to the United States.”

We would like to congratulate our client on his I-140 approval, and we wish him the best in his continued research efforts in the field of computer science.
