In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Visiting Scholar from China in the field of Materials Science. His specialized research has focused on the physical, electrical, and optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes, elucidating for the first time the nature and role of excitons in these factors. His work had resulted in 26 peer-reviewed journal articles, numerous conference presentations, and 1 book chapter; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 551 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 10 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] most well-known contribution is through the application of a post-Hartree Fock quantum chemistry method to calculate electron-electron interaction in carbon nanotubes, and it explains their characteristics using a semi-empirical model. This is the first time, to my knowledge, that this model was successfully demonstrated in the literature, and was a bellwether of related research to come.” 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 21 days.
