Extraordinary Ability Petition Approval for Physicist
Posted May 19, 2000

In May 2000, the Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C. obtained an approval for yet another of our clients who have been recognized for Extraordinary Ability. The Nebraska Service Center approved a petition for a physicist with an international reputation as a researcher of extraordinary ability in the field of Materials Science. This petition was originally filed in September 1999 and took the INS about 8 months to process the I-140 Petition.

This Law Office of Sheela Murthy demonstrated that the client had the unique ability to design and develop techniques that set the tone for the next generation of advanced technologies. His work in ion beam etching opens an entirely new direction in materials research that will have a strong impact on the future of the electronics industry.

This scientist was also established as a leader in the development of new experimental capabilities in X-ray radiation in the study of surface physics. In recognition of his contributions to U.S. physical science research, his work has received grants from the National Science Foundation. He has been invited to present his discoveries, and act as Chair, at several prestigious national and international conferences.

His current work addresses chemical vapor deposition of gallium nitride, an important material for the development of lasers and diodes. The benefits to national progress are immediately apparent, as follows: Compact computer discs with more memory than previously possible; semiconductor RGB flat panel displays; light bulbs capable of energy saving by as much as 75%, and other immediate benefits in communications technology.

The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C., is pleased and proud that yet another one of our distinguished clients has obtained an approval with our help and we trust that he will continue to contribute to the technological leadership of the U.S.
