In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Materials Chemistry and Energy Storage. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of the synthesis and characterization of a multitude of select materials. His work had resulted in 31 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 933 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 33 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As mentioned previously, [Client]’s research on Sb/C composites for sodium ion batteries is of great innate worth for the United States in its efforts to secure energy independence and reduce climate change. Given that these efforts are ongoing and expected to increase over the next several years, it is in America’s national interest to retain him. I strongly advise you to retain [Client] right away, given that energy independence and the reduction of climate change are prominent priorities, and that without his continuing contributions to this area of study, our efforts in this direction will be hindered.” 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 Chemistry and Energy Storage, 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 17 days.
