Case Summary:

A recent client of ours was described as having “[…] exceptional talent and skills which are unmatched. Her studies demonstrate prowess and virtuosity, and she clearly possesses the aptitude to design trendsetting experiments and formulate unprecedented conclusions in the areas of software engineering, in particular, and computer science, in general.”
This statement was made by an expert computer scientist who contributed a recommendation letter in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Five other computer scientists also offered letters, further fortifying our client’s NIW case. Our client, a teaching assistant from Iran, conducts groundbreaking research on ways to improve the quality of computer programs by creating more efficient and accurate debugging and testing programs. Her contributions to facial recognition and optical character recognition programs are serving as the foundation for United States-based companies to create next-generation recognition devices.
The carefully prepared EB-2 NIW presentation our legal team put together was composed of convincing evidence of the benefits of our client’s research to the United States. Among other things, this included a copy of our client’s doctoral degree, her transcripts, her citation record (33), and publication count (8). We are pleased that our diligent efforts played a part in attaining an I-140 approval notice from the USCIS.
Because our client chose to file her I-485 (final step in the green card process) while her I-140 was pending, she is currently awaiting news of her green card approval. We wish her the best with the final leg of her journey.
