In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Geophysics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of the development of statistical analysis techniques for transforming information hidden in seismic data into 3-D earth models that are useful for studying characteristics of various regions throughout the United States and East Asia. 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 324 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 16 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, "It is in the best interest of [University], the United States, and the worldwide field of geophysics, for this elite researcher to continue his efforts without any delays or derailments. With such a strong history of meaningful exploration and production already, I am eager to see the future discoveries and advancements he is bound to make.” 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 Geophysics, 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 22 days.
