In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Washington in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. He has made substantial and innovative contributions to the field of materials science and engineering, particularly as it concerns the design, synthesis, and processing of advanced nanomaterials for medical and electronic applications. Specifically, he conducts his research in the highly specialized areas of nanodevice fabrication and characterization. His work had resulted in 13 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 274 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 24 manuscript reviews for 12 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s research findings were instrumental in formulating a mathematical dissolution model that scientists can use to characterize dissolution stability of metal nanoparticles in correlation to evaluation of nanoparticles accurate toxicity. It is absolutely critical that careful investigations of this kind are carried out to elucidate the actual risk posed by nanomaterials. [Client] is a highly talented individual and has been recognized as such by his peers.” 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 Materials Science and 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 just 25 days.
