Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from China in the field of Chemical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on investigating and designing of chiral separation processes, approaches, and methods relevant to pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, design of energy polygeneration processes to supplement conventional coal and natural gas based energy production methods, and development of carbon capture technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. His work had resulted in 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 8 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 186 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 26 manuscripts for at least 6 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s research brings forth a new wave of studies in coal- and biomass-based energy polygeneration processes that are already greatly benefitting the chemical and energy industries of this country. These processes facilitate high energy efficiency, low CO2 emissions, and high profitability (of polygeneration plants), all of which benefit the environmental, economical, and industrial interests of the United States.” 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 Chemical Engineering, 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 20 days.
