In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Associate from China in the field of Mechanical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on sensor, actuator and instrumentation, including the design and fabrication of various sensing apparatuses for monitoring carbon dioxide levels, temperature, oxygen levels, and various other physical properties. His work had resulted 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 9 peer-reviewed conference publications, 1 technical report, and 10 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 124 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] project marks an improvement in carbon dioxide monitoring technology. This technology has extant and emergent applications in industry, agriculture, and the long-term observation of atmospheric carbon dioxide near geological carbon dioxide sequestration sites.” 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 Mechanical 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 1 month and 27 days.
