Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a senior software engineer from China in the field of computer engineering. Our client’s specialized research has focused on wireless networks and telecommunications. His work had resulted in 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles and conference papers, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 231 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 62 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has distinguished himself in the field through his groundbreaking research and reputation as a frequent author and peer reviewer for some of the highest impact publications and conferences in the field.” 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 computer 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 3 months and 14 days.
