Case Summary:

For this case, North American Immigration Law Group had the chance to work with a postdoctoral researcher from China working in the intersection of bioanalytical chemistry and molecular biology. He particularly focused his research on genome research in crop plants and DNA mutagenesis research in mammalian systems. 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 bioanalytical chemistry and molecular biology. We submitted extensive documentation illustrating the major significance of his work and his superior expertise. In particular, his 13 peer-reviewed articles, multiple national conference presentations, and 2 patents had received no fewer than 254 independent citations at the time of filing from research teams and scientists on several continents and associated with prestigious organizations and institutions, showing the international recognition his work has earned. In further demonstration of the respect in which he is held by his fellow scientists, he had been granted membership on the editorial boards of 5 journals and reviewed a total of 22 manuscripts for those and other prominent journals. An independent recommender added their testimony: “[Client] has also made great contributions to the scientific community in other biochemical fields, particularly in the area of DNA mutagenesis research in mammalian systems. [Client]’simpactful findings from these studies were published in highly reputed international journals such as Nature Chemical Biology and the Journal of Biological Chemistry. I’m very impressed with his breadth of subject matter covering a broad range of biochemical and molecular genetic studies in plants and mammals. [Client]’s diverse background and high-impact research definitely testifies to his standing as a significant member in his research areas” With the proof and documentation we submitted, we showed that our client’s continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States, and his case was approved in just twenty-one days.
