Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was an Assistant Professor from China in the field of Finance. Specifically, his specialized research has focused financial market structure and design, such as new trends in equity markets and the performance of trading, clearing, and central bank intervention in over-the-counter securities and derivatives. His work had resulted in 4 peer-reviewed scientific articles and about 60 presentations at national and international conferences and research universities. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 458 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 30 manuscript reviews for 14 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Overall, [his] work separates him from other financial economists in his generation in both its ingenuity and timeliness, which is why his work is increasingly influencing both practicing economists and regulators across the world.” 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 Finance, 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 6 days.
