In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. His work has focused specifically on the engineering of the surface chemistry of graphene materials for technical implementation in optoelectronics, sensing, catalysis, and energy storage. His work had resulted in 37 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 2,465 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 13 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “One of the major challenges in nanostructure assembly comes from positioning solution- synthesized nanoparticles on substrates with sufficiently high resolution and control. In his research, [Client] developed multiple methods for nanoparticle alignment, dealing with this challenge in an effective way.”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 11 days.
