Case Summary:

A postdoctoral researcher from China who worked in biomedical optics was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on the application of optical methods in medical imaging, predominately the use of diffuse optical tomography and photoacoustic tomography. His body of work comprised 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 185 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He has also performed peer-review service for 13 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 37 manuscripts. An independent recommender attested to our client’s superior expertise: “In light of [Client’s] expansive international recognition and applicable research, I have concluded that he is a leading expert within the field of biomedical imaging.” 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 Biomedical Optics, 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 four months and twenty-nine days.
