In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Visiting Scholar from China the field of Materials Engineering. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of the use of laser techniques for the assessment and creation of novel materials. His work had resulted in 108 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 890 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 16 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] produced a study on femtosecond laser living cell nano- surgery for function regulation. In this study he reported a new technique for establishing cell damage and cytokinetics models; a valuable achievement with clinical applications and the potential to replace narcotic therapies in the future.” 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 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 15 days.
