Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was an Assistant Professor in Texas in the Field of Civil Systems Engineering. He conducts his research in the highly specialized area of approximation algorithms and autonomous systems. Specifically, his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in border patrolling, forest fire and disaster monitoring, and oil pipeline inspections. His work had resulted in 17 peer-reviewed scientific articles (3 as first author), 4 book chapters, and 31 presentations and publications for national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 681 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 conducted 50 manuscript reviews for 12 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “These contributions are sure to be of national importance for the U.S. and will be critical in the further development of widespread and varied use of UAVs for many different purposes such as national security and border patrol applications. [His] work on resource allocation algorithms aids human operators in using these unmanned vehicles efficiently and effectively for border surveillance.” 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 Civil Systems 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 less than 3 months.
