U.S. Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter to support the O-1 non-immigrant petition on behalf of Dr. Tatuya Jinmei. It is a pleasure for me to write this independent letter recognizing Dr. Tatuya Jinmei's status as an outstanding research scientist of the highest caliber in the field of networking in particular. He is a first class research scientist who has made major contributions to the area of the next generation Internet. I believe that Dr. Jinmei's efforts are essential in that he made enormous contribution to the world's first referential software platform for this area. Therefore, I strongly support his petition. I am currently the President of XXX Corporation. [Insert brief description of company]. I received a Ph.D degree in Computer Science from XXX University. [List the signor?s qualifications and credentials, e.g.: I won the Nobel prize in 1990, YYY award in 1992, served as a board of directories at ZZZ corporation, etc, etc...] I came to know Dr. Jinmei at the XXX conference in 1995. Since then, I've been working with him as a research colleague. Dr. Jinmei has committed to research and development of the next generation Internet for its wide adoption and deployment. He played a key role at a software development project for this purpose and led it to world wide success. He explored his own research field through his activity in the project; the results were not only published as academic research papers but also adopted in the standardization community and by open source and commercial developers including Linux, Apple and Microsoft. Based on the value of Dr. Jinmei's research, I very strongly recommend considering his candidacy for an O-1 non-immigrant status as an internationally recognized first-rate researcher and inventor who has risen to the very top of his field of endeavor and will certainly be an invaluable asset to the United States. I truly believe that keeping Dr. Jinmei in the United States will help advance the research challenges of the country, and help maintain the competitive advantage of U.S. over other countries. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email address] if I may be of further assistance. [Name] [Title]
