In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist from India in the field of Electrical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on 2D crystals, with a particular emphasis on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. 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 227 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 23 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] findings are extremely thorough and provide critical insight into the fundamental physics of carrier transport in 2D crystals. These results are valuable in the context of future generations of nanotransistors and can overcome the incredibly damaging drop in chip production.” 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. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 4 months and 8 days.
