He has also demonstrated his exceptional research performance by production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 10% by citations for his field and of the year. At the time we filed his case, he has published 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles and reviewed the work of his peers 13 times in several highly distinguished journals. Our team carefully investigated the 184 citations he accumulated, and found out that the citations all came from leading academic institutions around the world. In our customized petition letter, we have presented extensive documentation to prove that our client is not only extending the frontier of Materials Chemistry, but is also gaining knowledge and innovations for the US.

We also encouraged our client to contact experts of the same field for recommendation letters.
