A computer professor from India, John Korah, is the subject of a lawsuit filed by the Illinois Institute of Technology against the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in Illinois federal court, alleging it improperly denied his I-140 application for a Green Card.
The Illinois Institute of Technology in its lawsuit says USCIS’ denial of Korah’s I-140 petition, which it filed to classify him as an outstanding researcher in computer science in the field of computational social science, prevents him from applying for certain grants, apart from other factors.
According to his profile, Korah is a Research Assistant Professor with the Department of Computer Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Korah received his bachelor degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering from the Government College of Technology, Coimbatore, India (2000). He received M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2002) and Ph.D. in Computer Science (2010), both from Virginia Tech.
His research areas focuses on large scale information processing, parallel and distributed processing, information retrieval, computational social systems, cybersecurity, modeling and simulation.
His research topics include Big Data, with a focus on ‘Distributed processing frameworks for time and resource bound information retrieval applications in large and dynamic search space.’
Korah also serves as a reviewer for the Journal of Supercomputing and IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics.
