Case Summary:

The client we were able to work with in this case was a biostatistician from South Korea. We were able to establish that her continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as well as those in her field. Her work had particularly focused on developing novel statistical methods as well as analyzing existing ones. Her 6 peer-reviewed publications, supplemented with numerous conference papers, had been cited no fewer than 76 times at case filing, primarily by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in the field. The importance of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “[Client] showed true innovation by developing a completely novel statistical methodology to model longitudinal self-reported count data while taking inaccurate reports into account through the use of a stochastic process… This new model was found to perform better than the Poisson random eﬀects model when there are reporting errors in the outcome variable and also was found to perform credibly even when there are no reporting errors.” With the extensive documentation we submitted, we successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in three months and twenty-eight days.
