In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Associate from China in the field of Soft Matter Materials. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of fundamental knowledge of soft matter at the nanoscale and its influence on the functions at the macroscopic scale. His work had resulted in 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles, one book chapter, and 18 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 270 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 39 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] was the first researcher to use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to examine the mixture of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and to examine the adsorption of the first two layers of a charged substrate. This research, as a whole, helps elucidate PEM structures.” 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 Soft Matter Materials, 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 5 months and 14 days.
