Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of Electrochemical Engineering.  His specialized research has focused on the application of electrochemical methods to various studies, including the detection and identification of medically valuable compounds, such as DNA, toxins, and drug compounds, as well as the development of improved solar cells and redox flow batteries. His work had resulted in 32 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations and publications at national and international conference; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 793 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work.  He had also reviewed 28 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] fabricated a composite film utilizing functionalized Au, HPbCD, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. This film displayed improved catalytic activity towards thymine, guanine, adenine, and tyrosine indicating that it is applicable for use in DNA sensing. This research is being applied to the direct detection and targeting of viral DNA, improving the efficacy of vaccinations.” 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 Electrochemical 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 1 month and 7 days.
