Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an Assistant Professor from India in the field of Architecture and Construction.  He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of life cycle energy and carbon analysis by developing a standardized and comprehensive method for calculating embodied energy and carbon within construction materials. His work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 280 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 25 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As an outstanding researcher, his efforts have earned him international visibility and a strong reputation in our mutual field of study. I am confident that he will undoubtedly continue to make significant contributions to this field, which is a foundation to sustainable facility management.” 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 Architecture and Construction, 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 3 months and 26 days.
