In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an Engineer from China in the field of graphene nanotechnology. [Client’s] research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding how best to improve the electrical and thermal management properties of nanoelectronic devices. Her work had resulted in 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited by researchers worldwide from 19 countries and 62 institutions published in top tier journals, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed numerous manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “In order to promote the research development and fulfil industry’s demands for graphene applications in the United States, I strongly believe that retaining [client’s] talent is crucial for the success of this industry, and more importantly, to keep the United States in the leading position on this next generation electronic material. Therefore, I restate my strong endorsement to her permanent residency petition in the United States as an alien of extraordinary ability without any hesitation, considering her contributions of major significance in the graphene field from her past achievements, and the urgent need for her expertise of the country in the future.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of graphene nanotechnology, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 6 months and 21 days.
