In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Engineer from India whose research had focused on the protection of wetlands and studying the effects of climate change. His work had resulted in 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 8 peer-reviewed conference papers, and over 30 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 133 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 71 manuscripts for at least 4 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] research on wetland and watershed systems has been monumental in providing research to our field on both a grand and local scale. [Two of his papers] were also important contributions that provided both knowledge on water systems and mechanisms for gaining more knowledge on specific systems. This is a typical feature of [Client’s] impressive research style: founded on intricate scientific principles but presented in a way that is accessible to the populace.” 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 Environmental 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 four months and three days.
