This time we were given the opportunity to work with an electrical engineer from Malaysia specializing in photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and compound semiconductor electronics. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 13 peer-reviewed journal articles - a body of work that had received 1098 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “Besides contributing to further our understanding of nanoscale electronic and optical phenomena in semiconductor devices, [client]’s work has important applications in industries that are crucial to the country’s economic health, such as renewable energy, computing and telecommunications. […] His scientific and engineering contributions has led to new devices, new understanding, and new techniques for utilizing and manufacturing semiconductor devices that help our country maintain and increase the technological edge necessary to stay ahead of foreign competition” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience.
