Case Summary.

Yasmin Malek helped a veteran data platform architect with nearly two decades in software achieve permanent residence through the EB-1A. The case rested on his scholarly publications, judging of dozens of papers across conferences and hackathons, senior membership in a selective engineering society, a patent, and a critical role implementing first-of-its-kind customer data technology — including previously helping grow an e-commerce business severalfold. Targeted media coverage was added to push the case over the line under tightening EB-1A standards.
