A Postdoctoral Fellow from China who worked in chemistry was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on functionalized graphene and nanomaterials. His body of work comprised 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles and two patents; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 5,153 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He has also performed peer-review service for 2 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 50 manuscripts. An independent recommender attested to our client’s superior expertise: “Among scientists leading advanced technology, [Client] stands out as an innovator making important contributions to the field. I believe he is one of the most outstanding young scientists I have ever known, and that he will make many new contributions to science and technology which will benefit the U.S. in the years to come.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 6 days (6 days after Requesting Premium Processing).
