Case Type: Eb-1A Field of Research: Nanotechnology Major Credentials: Ph.D. from a United States university Published 8 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals Cited nearly 100 times by scientists worldwide Served as peer-reviewer on 7 occasions Dr. K. S. researches and publishes in the area of nanotechnology. Specifically, he has made unrivaled contributions with his studies involving the structure and nanomechanics of metal nanowires. Dr. K. S. published a series of highly influential articles in high impact journals in his field. In addition, esteemed journals invited Dr. K. S. to review the manuscripts submitted for publication by other researchers. At the time of filing, Dr. K. S. was working in a US national lab, where his research was focused upon carbon nanotubes that are intended for use in next generation microelectronic chips, a technology which will significantly advance the field of nanotechnology. We submitted 7 recommendation letters on behalf of Dr. K. S., two of which were from independent experts who did not know Dr. K. S. but were familiar with his influential research. In the Eb-1A petition letter, we argued that Dr. K. S. is an alien of extraordinary ability and should be granted permanent residency based upon the following facts: (1) Dr. K.
