Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an Associate Specialist from China in the field of Environmental Science.  His specialized research has focused on the fate, transport, bioavailability and toxicity of engineered nanoparticles in terrestrial ecosystems. His work had resulted in 21 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 465 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 30 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]has made a number of significant discoveries that have keenly impacted the field and our understanding of how fragile our environment is to pollution, including rapidly emerging waste streams associated with the growing nanotechnology industry.” 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 Science, 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 21 days.
