Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India in the field of Nanomaterials Chemistry. His research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding nanomaterials that have wide range of applications in the fields of medicine, fuel processing and solar energy conversion. His work had resulted in 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 17 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 238 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also reviewed 32 manuscripts for at least 12 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “While [client]’s work may seem extremely technical, he is providing much needed basic information about effective cancer treatment methods. As cancer rates have skyrocketed over the past decade and are expected to continue to rise, particularly in the US where a large portion of the population is reaching old age, it is vital not only to the scientific community but to general public health that [client]’s work continue, as he has oft-demonstrated his acumen in this area of science to an extent matched by few others in the field.” 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 Nanomaterials Chemistry, 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 25 days.
