In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a Russian physicist, who had focused specifically on organic photovoltaics, a key component of efficient third-generation solar cell technology. As part of our successful strategy for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, which included 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and eight conference presentations. This work had received at least 49 citations by the time we filed his case, nearly all of which were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in his field. We also showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field as a whole and the people of the United States in general. An independent recommender confirmed the importance of his work: “In order to ensure prolonged environmental and economic vitality, it is necessary to better utilize renewable energy sources for the energy needs of the society. Current hurdles standing in the way of wider adoption of these energy resources include their inefficiency and cost. Recognizing this, [Client] has dedicated his research to deepening the fundamental scientific understanding of photovoltaics necessary to increase the efficiency of solar cells, which would enable new technologies leading to low-cost harvesting of solar power.” We successfully argued 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 7 months and 13 days.
