USCIS has approved an EB-1A visa for a distinguished AI researcher and engineer without issuing a substantive Request for Evidence (RFE) regarding the merits of the case. The approval highlights the importance of contributions in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
Key Details:
- The case involved a researcher with thousands of citations and significant publications.
- USCIS issued an RFE solely for biometrics to verify the client’s identity, not for case merits.
- The approval suggests a potential shift in USCIS procedures regarding biometrics for certain I-140 petitions.
- The case was ultimately approved, providing a successful outcome for the client.
This development may indicate a new trend in the processing of EB-1A visas, particularly for individuals in high-demand fields like AI.
