In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher in North Carolina in the field of Chemistry. His specialized research has focused on the design, development, and applications of smart multifunctional nanoparticle systems for diverse medical purposes including biomineralization, cancer therapy, drug-delivery, personalized medicine and point-of-care diagnostics. His work had resulted in 27 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 book chapters, 1 patent, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 728 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 conducted 4 manuscript reviews for 4 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] is the first to develop Boolean-based, logical colorimetric nanosensor…Successful implementation of this technology significantly advances disease diagnostics for patients with cancer, diabetes and Parkinson's disease, saving millions of lives all across the world and reducing the fiscal toll these diseases exact on patients and their caregivers. Overall, he is one of the most creative young scientists in his field. His contribution to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has done wonders for the highly specialized area of personalized nanomedicine. His research and further development of technology will continue to immensely benefit society by improving quality of life and the United States economy.” 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 just 18 days.
