In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral research associate from China in the field of nanomaterials. Our client’s specialized research has focused on studying and synthesizing the materials needed for the production of electrodes in next-generation lithium-ion batteries. His work had resulted in 32 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 1491 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 37 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “What is most impressive about his work is that he has addressed the need for these materials to be not only functional but also able to be mass-produced efficiently. Many scientific discoveries are fascinating but are simply not practical. [Client’s] comprehensive work in this project is both. However, with his current project still underway, it is important for him to see it through to completion. I urge you to offer him the opportunity to do so.” 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 nanomaterials, 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.
