Case Summary:

In this case we were privileged to work with a postdoctoral researcher from China whose specialized research has focused on the genetic factors that influence the virology of the hepatitis C virus and on the development of induced pluripotent stem cell biology. Her work had resulted in 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 2 patents; at the time her case was filed, her publications had received at least 910 citations in the work of independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 19 manuscripts for at least 15 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender praised her superior level of expertise: “[Client’s] contributions to the virology research field have generated far-reaching scientific impact. Of those, her illuminating research identifying the co-receptors for the hepatitis C virus’ (HCV) viral entry, initiation, and spread in targeted cells particularly captivated my interest.” 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 Cell Biology, 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 six days.
