For this EB-1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability case, we had the privilege of working with a Postdoctoral Research Scientist who has made substantial contributions and garnered international acclaim in the field of Chemical Engineering. In her research endeavors, our client has studied the utility of biomass derivatives and their ability to function as alternative energy sources for the production of fuel and valuable chemicals. Our client has identified a novel, high stability, low expense catalyst for hydrogen storage materials, which has significantly advanced the development of alternative energy sources. Her innovations continue to radically enhance the development of these vital technologies, which have greatly benefited the energy and environmental sectors of the United States’ economy. The emergence of this technology within the past few decades has circumvented the impending energy crisis and has alleviated the environmental mayhem that nonrenewable fuel sources have caused. The major significance of her work was endorsed by an independent recommender, who stated, “It is only through the critical advancements of scientists like [Client], who are laying the vital foundation for this technology, that we can begin to solve this energy conundrum and, further, begin to wean ourselves from the dependence of foreign oil and grow our energy independence.”The originality of her work has culminated in the authorship of 14 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of her field. At the time of filing her case, her publications had been cited 170 times by researchers worldwide, demonstrating the global scientific community’s heavy reliance upon her work. Furthermore, her work has been presented and discussed at several national and internationally renowned conferences. Additionally, our client has been invited to judge the work of her colleagues and other forerunners in her field, and she has served as a manuscript reviewer for 7 highly distinguished, internationally circulated journals related to the field of Chemical Engineering. In total, she has reviewed 13 manuscripts thus far. In demonstrating the extraordinary ability of our client and the international acclaim for her research, we were able to prove that she has risen to the very top of her field of endeavor. Despite the issuance of a RFE from the USCIS 11 days after filing our client’s case, we overcame this hurdle with the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided. We were met with success when her EB-1Apetition was approved in 1 month and 28 days.
