Case Summary:

In this case, we had the privilege to represent a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India working in the field of chemistry. His work had primarily focused on improving understanding of the chemical properties and processes of molecular systems, and especially those related to room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), ion specific interactions, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Not only had his results furthered scientific knowledge of these systems, but they also provided important knowledge and methods of use to a number of industries that use these materials in a wide variety of products, including for energy and environmental technologies and in biology. His work had resulted in at least 17 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous national and international conference presentations which, at the time that his case was filed, had been cited at least 271 times by researchers around the world. This served as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on his field, as well as his sustained international acclaim. In addition, he had experience with judging the work of others in his field through having conducted 8 papers reviews for journals related to the field of chemistry. Our client’s leading status in his field is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “In a short period of time, [he] has established himself as an important researcher in the fields of computational and theoretical chemistry, especially through his excellent research into the structural characteristics of room temperature ionic liquids. He has displayed an impressive ability to make major contributions to this new and exciting area of study.” It was our aspiration to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of cancer research, and that his continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just over 1 month.
