In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a process engineer from China in the field of materials science. Specifically, our client’s specialized research has focused on improving upon existing scientific research tools, as well as increasing the understanding of nanomaterials and their use in energy systems. His work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 155 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 50 manuscripts for 10 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has already made significant original contributions to the field of materials engineering, as displayed by his development of a new tool for nanolithography. This consistent record of original findings makes [client]…a prominent and leading individual in the field.” 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 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 9 days.
