Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Associate Professor China in the field of Atmospheric Physics.  His specialized research has focused on gravity waves.  His work had resulted in 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous 14 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 326 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 27 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] research on gravity waves has shown just how pervasive and influential they can be in our middle and upper atmospheres. These waves transfer an enormous amount of energy from the thermosphere to the various parts of the ionosphere, and [client] is continuing to discover more aspects of our planet' s weather that gravity waves play a major role in. The more that we know about gravity waves, the more we can account for their presence in our most advanced models of weather systems, allowing for more accurate predictions of the weather and a better overall understanding of how our atmosphere works.” 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 Atmospheric Physics, 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 29 days.
