In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Fellow in New Mexico in the field of Organic Chemistry. He conducts his research in the highly specialized areas of bioorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, synthetic chemistry, and medicinal chemistry. Specifically, his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the modernization of chemical techniques for the production of materials used by numerous worldwide industries. His work had resulted in 16 peer-reviewed articles published in leading journals, 5 poster presentations, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 415 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 8 manuscript reviews for at least 5 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s improvements of hydrogenation methods are not only relevant to pharmaceutical, agricultural, and technological industries worldwide but to global environmental health as well. The world has realized the need for the implementation of eco-friendly industrial processes. [...] [Client] has not merely improved environmentally safe chemical synthetic methods. He has also improved chemical production methods that are dramatically more economically viable.” 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 Organic Chemistry, 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 6 months and 9 days.
