In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Assistant Professor from Russia in the field of Materials Science. His specialized research has focused on developing electrocatalytic materials for energy harvesting and conversion applications. His work had resulted in 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 25 presentations at national and international conferences and 23 patents, 18 of which are U.S. issued; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 816 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 20 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Unlike traditional synthetic approaches, [client] used [original method] to provide catalysts with a solid, porous framework helpful for electrochemical reactions.” 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.
