The AI field has a well-established system for measuring scholarly impact — citation counts, h-index, publication venues, and peer review roles — that maps directly onto the EB-1A criteria. Researchers with publications at top venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or CVPR, and meaningful citation profiles, frequently satisfy three or more criteria. Silmi Law prepares AI-focused EB-1A petitions that present your research accomplishments compellingly to USCIS officers without technical backgrounds.
