Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral research associate from China in the field of applied microbiology. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of engineering strains from renewable bio-sources to produce bio-fuels. Her work had resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 patent, and numerous conference publications; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 130 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 16 manuscripts for 8 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I also have cited [client’s] study on carboxyl fermentation in a comprehensive analysis of lignocellulosic biorefinery, in which I featured her research as an effective response to this topic’s many challenges. Having selected [client’s] work as a striking example of recent developments in bio-oil refinery and production, I can verify that her research is instrumental to continued growth and progress in the field.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of applied microbiology, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 7 days.
