For this client, we focused on the way that his contributions and leadership shaped advancement and successful projects in his industry. As one of his independent recommender’s remarked, “[Client] is a rare individual whose keen business sense is enhanced by a systematic and analytical approach to the resolution of the critical commercial and delicate political challenges that entail a high degree of risk assessment and, more importantly, the leadership to institute comprehensive uniform policies so that the entire team advances apace. [Client] has built a reputation on his ability to deliver on schedule by mitigating risks; bringing to the table technical know-how, financial resources, marketing genius, and strategic vision.” Our aim was to show that this client’s success in the Oil and Gas industry qualified him as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability because his goal was to remain in the United States and continue his work in this field.
