In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a R&D Mechanical Engineer from China in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Her specialized research has focused on the thermal fluid analyses and optimization of fuel cells. Her work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 117 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 37 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] research in this area is unprecedented […..] Her experimental results led to a fundamental understanding of the temperature field in solid oxide fuel cells when exposed to: various fuel components, flow field designs and operating temperatures.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Mechanical Engineering, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 3 months and 26 days.
