In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Research Engineer from China in the field of Transportation Engineering. His specialized research has focused on the development of a variety of innovative computational transportation models. His work had resulted in 19 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 79 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 15 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] used an advanced integrated platform linked to a Comprehensive Modal Emissions Model (CMEM) to identify hitherto unknown links between certain driver habits and emission and fuel consumption rates. This modeling system was capable of providing an unprecedented specificity with respect to results, as it was able to distinguish between the effects of multiple components of driving behavior, such as the type of vehicle, type of engine, power demand, and more.” 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 Transportation Engineering, 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 17 days.
