Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Associate from China in the field of Integrative Medicine. His specialized research has focused on application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) methodologies to the treatment of stroke and vascular-related diseases and the investigation and development of international standards for TCM. His work had resulted in 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 7 books, 1 professional newspaper article, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 555 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 27 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] is currently involved in an ongoing study regarding novel mechanisms and targets in immunological and inflammatory responses following vascular injury and stroke. This research is clarifying the benefits of treatments that limit post-stroke infections and secondary brain damage.” 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 Integrative Medicine, 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 2 months and 24 days.
