Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Materials Engineering. His/her specialized research has focused on several areas, including medical, environmental and energy. His/her work had resulted in at least 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his/her case was filed, his/her publications had been cited at least 304 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his/her major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his/her sustained international acclaim. S/he had also reviewed 26 manuscripts for at least 9 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His/Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “It is estimated that the industries of the world account for about 22% of global water usage and approximately 70% of the industrial waste produced is simply poured back into the water system without proper processing, contaminating our resources in a dangerous way. In order to better care for and utilize our resources, scientists have focused on innovative approaches to wastewater treatment. [Client]’s work has been very important to this area of study and his/her research has provided valuable information that can be used for environmental and resource protection both in the United States and abroad.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that s/he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Materials Engineering, and that his/her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his/her case was approved in just 22 days.
