Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was an Associate Research Scientist from China in the field of Genetics. His specialized research has focused on statistical genetics. Specifically, his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the improvement of genome mapping methodologies. His work had resulted in at least 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 825 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 24 manuscript reviews for at least 12 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “For the United States, in particular, [client]’s efforts mean greater accuracy in predicting the vulnerability of key food crops to particular diseases, changes in temperature, and other common environmental stressors. [His] work put into the hands of researchers a very powerful tool for exploring the complex genomic make-up of plants that forecasts aforementioned vulnerabilities, and designing strategies to mitigate those weaknesses. Therefore, [client] is a critical figure in sustaining key food crops in the United States.” 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 Genetics, 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 10 days.
