Case Summary:

In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a physicist from India whose highly specialized work focused on the development of components for more efficient solar cells, the discovery of novel properties of liquid crystalline phase transitions, and the design of a new method for hierarchical hybrid self-assembly of nanoparticles. He had produced 25 peer-reviewed journal articles and given numerous presentations at national and international conferences; altogether our client’s work had received no fewer than 251 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, showing its major significance within his field. He had also reviewed 27 manuscripts for at least 16 prominent, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s superior level of expertise: “While I have neither a professional nor a personal relationship with [Client], I have read his articles closely and followed his work with deep interest over the past few years. I have cited one of [Client’s] recent papers about the bandgap engineering of semiconductor quantum dot heterostructures. This research represents some of the most forward-thinking methods in the field at this time.” 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 Applied Physics, 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 just 8 days.
