In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Visiting Scholar from China in the field of Environmental Chemistry. He conducts his research on a highly specialized area focusing on the development of analytical techniques for trace or ultratrace analysis. His work had resulted in 55 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in journals and 6 patents; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 547 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 33 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Through [client’s] creative work, [client] was able to develop an innovative method with improved sensitivity and selectivity which allow the researchers to detect trace or ultratrace [toxic chemicals] in waters. The application of his method will be a great advancement for public health and safety in the United States and all over the world.” 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 Environmental 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 4 months and 20 days.
