In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Inorganic Chemistry. His specialized research has focused on second-order nonlinear optical materials with applications in the field of tunable laser systems. His work had resulted in 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 202 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also reviewed 18 manuscripts for at least 7 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I am convinced that allowing [client] to continue working in the United States is necessary in order to ensure the continued advancement of our understanding of the compounds used to develop nonlinear optical materials. Because these materials have such an incredibly wide set of applications and are so important to so many fields and industries, [client]’s continued work is essential on a deeper level, with importance to our economy and to our quest to maintain our edge in high-tech research.” 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 Inorganic 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 just 4 months and 14 days.
