Success Story: EB1A Approved Despite RFE! A Senior Software Developer Won Success with Our Expert Assistance
Client’s Testimonial:
“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Chenn Immigration and especially to Attorney Elliot for their exceptional support and expertise in handling my EB1A case. When I received the RFE (Request for Evidence), I was understandably anxious, but Attorney Elliot approached the situation with confidence, clarity, and unmatched professionalism.
The RFE response prepared by Attorney Elliot was nothing short of extraordinary. It was meticulously detailed, thoughtfully structured, and powerfully persuasive. His deep understanding of EB1A requirements and strategic presentation of evidence played a crucial role in overcoming the challenges posed by USCIS.
Thanks to Attorney Elliot’s dedication and the outstanding work of the entire team at Chenn Immigration, my EB1A petition was successfully approved. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and support throughout this complex process.
I wholeheartedly recommend Chenn Immigration to anyone pursuing an EB1A or any immigration matter. Their commitment to excellence and client success truly sets them apart.”

Case Summary
Our firm is pleased to share the approval of an EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition for our client, a highly accomplished researcher in the field of cybersecurity. The petition was filed in December 2024, received a Request for Evidence (RFE), and was ultimately approved in September 2025.
With a Ph.D. and an M.S. in information technology, our client has established himself as a leading authority in vulnerability management, risk assessment, threat mitigation, supply chain risk management, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). He is especially well-recognized for his work on developing secure web applications using CapsuleNet and OWASP in the cloud, which has influenced a wide range of cybersecurity advancements.
Over the course of his career, our client has built an impressive research record, including:
- 22 peer-reviewed journal articles (12 first-authored)
- 11 conference publications (3 first-authored)
- 1 preprint
- 3 books (1 first-authored)
- 5 sole-authored technical reports
His research has earned 588 citations from scholars worldwide, confirming its broad influence in the global cybersecurity community. In addition, he has been invited to conduct at least 16 peer reviews for prominent journals in the field, further demonstrating his expertise and reputation.
Beyond his publications and citation record, our client has earned distinction through memberships in prestigious professional organizations, including senior membership with the IEEE and full membership with Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Honor Society.
To strengthen the petition, we submitted four strong recommendation letters from renowned experts, three of whom were independent experts who had never worked directly with our client but relied upon and cited his work in their own research. These testimonials confirmed that our client’s contributions represent original, significant, and influential advancements in cybersecurity.
Despite receiving an RFE, our firm carefully prepared a detailed response that highlighted not only the objective metrics of his academic success but also the real-world impact of his work on improving organizational and national security. Ultimately, USCIS recognized his sustained record of excellence and determined that he is among the small percentage who have risen to the very top of his field.
We are proud to have assisted this extraordinary researcher in securing approval of his EB1A petition, and we look forward to seeing the continuing contributions he will make in strengthening cybersecurity and protecting critical systems in the United States.
