His research on bone implants has directly contributed to the medical industry and the improved quality of life for many in need of high-end implants. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Engineering, including 14 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 87 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. He has also been invited to perform peer-review work for some of the leading journals in his field. As stated by one independent recommender, “Truly, [client] shows remarkable facility in a number of biomechanical research areas: among them are fracture mechanics, biomaterial engineering and mechanics, composite material fracture modeling, and computational solid mechanics. Facility in these areas is not common, and along with the results he has achieved in his research, his skills distinguish him from the majority of other researchers in his field.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 9 days.
