Case Summary:
The client that we had the opportunity to represent in this case was a Postdoctoral Associate from India working in the field of chemical engineering. His research specialties included polymer science, surface characterization, nanoscience, structure-property relationships, experimental skills in polymer synthesis and characterizing physical properties of polymers. At the time of case filing, his work had resulted in at least 12 articles published in leading peer-reviewed journals, 1 book chapter, and at least 23 presentations at leading conferences and symposiums in his field. These publications had accumulated at least 102 citations from leading independent researchers at renowned institutions around the world, serving as objective evidence of his sustained international acclaim, as well as his major influence and impact on his field. Furthermore, various experts and editors had consistently requested his expertise for his services as a reviewer for at least 11 internationally-recognized, prestigious scientific journals. In addition to these review duties, he had served on the Editorial Board for a high-ranking journal. The importance of his continued work in his field is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] is a spearhead and innovator whose expertise is evidenced by his exemplary research, analytical skills and significant contributions he has made to the polymer science and chemical engineering community… [He] is a leader in the design of organic thin films and nanostructures leading to novel organic energy systems and smart coatings.” It was our aim to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of chemical engineering, and that his continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 7 ½ months.
