Case Summary:

The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of organic chemistry. His specialized research had focused on the asymmetric catalysis of multi-component reactions used to synthesize optically pure β-amino acid derivates, as well as the asymmetric catalytic synthesis of heterocycles. This work had resulted in at least 23 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 400 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed at least 24 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals in his field. His superior level of achievement was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The achievements I have described thus far are truly outstanding in the field of Organic Chemistry. As a researcher, [he] has accomplished truly monumental projects and been a major contributor toward progress in the Organic Chemistry field. His work is not only scientifically sound, but the techniques he has developed are seen as a major innovation in the field and his results, while ground breaking, have been reproduced in laboratories across the world, showing the meaningful applicability of these methods for countless research and development projects.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of organic chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 month and 8 days.
