For this case we worked with an electrical engineer from China with a specialized focus on developing fabrication methods for materials to be used in biomedical devices, sensors and various electronics and circuits. His highly prolific career thus far had produced 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 patents, 5 invention disclosures, and 8 presentations at national and international conferences, and he had been cited at least 141 times, primarily by independent researchers at prominent and leading institutions and organizations worldwide. This remarkable citation record clearly indicates the major significance of our client’s work. He had also reviewed at least 16 manuscripts for 6 or more distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. 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 Electrical Engineering, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. An independent recommender affirmed the significance of some of our client’s research: “[Client’s] model demonstrates an incredibly exciting capacity to treat neural disorders such as epilepsy. Therefore, [Client’s] work has an immense impact beyond his field of electrical engineering : it has amazing implications for the advancement of the medical field, and increased treatment options for sufferers of neural disorders and diseases.” With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in one month and nine days.
