Case Summary:

“[Client’s] geomechanical modeling work, particularly as relating to hydraulic fracturing, is highly relevant to the United States. [Client’s] research, which optimizes procedures and site selection of hydraulic fracturing, is of great importance to the United States and would help make American energy production more efficient and affordable.”

This is a statement issued in support of a client from India who is one of the few leading geomechanics and hydraulic fracturing experts in geological engineering. He is especially well-known for his development of enhanced fracture propagation models for anisotropic rocks like shale, which has engendered several key breakthroughs in the ability to successfully stimulate unconventional reservoirs. The client was an unconventional reservoir engineer working in the area of geological engineering when he came to us with his EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) request in April 2021.

Our team of experts quickly looked into his background and got down to sorting the relevant material for his petition to USCIS. The materials they used were:

Details of his research endeavor and its impact on the United States prove his extraordinary ability in the area of expertise.
Details of his publication record which stood at a massive number of 56 peer-reviewed articles and a technical report.
Details of their citation history which was a solid 695 at the time of filing making him the top 1% of the authors publishing in the area.
Details of his review experience which stood at 60 in total.
Letters of recommendation 4 in number corroborating his claims to the category.

We are thus proud of having had the opportunity to represent him in this case and we wish him the very best in all future endeavors.
