Case Summary:
We recently had the pleasure of representing a client who has been performing organic chemistry research on environmentally-neutral processes for asymmetric reduction reactions. This has included the development of safer methods for drug development and the elucidation of the photosynthesis process to better understand the origins of life. The client in question had 156 citations at the time of filing and we were able to show that this evidence, combined with other objective proof of his research influence, demonstrated that his research qualified as original contributions of major significance. Our firm also showed that the client’s 13 scientific articles appearing in top-tier journals in the field met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles. In addition, the client had completed peer-review work for 8 journals in the field of endeavor, so we proved that this was sufficient evidence that the client had served as a judge of others in organic chemistry. Aside from showing the influence of the client’s work on subsequent research studies, we stressed that this work also has direct applications for environmental engineers working in industrial settings. As one of the client’s independent recommenders states, “Based on his excellent track record in this highly specialised, challenging and globally-competitive field, I feel confident that [the client's] research record and expertise render him capable of making valuable contributions to the science base and the economy of the United States.” After submitting evidence that the client sought to continue working in organic chemistry within the U.S., the client’s petition for Alien of Extraordinary Ability status was approved in just 48 days.
