In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral research associate from China in the field of electrical engineering. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of power systems and electric vehicles. His work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 320 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also served as a manuscript reviewer for at least 11 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals and many international conferences. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] mathematical, technological, and engineering savvy are but a glimpse into what he offers the engineering community…. [He] has introduced techniques of inestimable importance to international research and development. Therefore, I am convinced that he has reached the uppermost tier of research excellence and is certain to continue providing exceptional breakthroughs in electrical and power technologies.” 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 electrical engineering, 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 23 Days.
