Case Summary:

For this case we worked with an analytical chemist from China with a specialized focus on the design and synthesis of chemical probes for registering the presence of biochemically significant compounds, and mass spectrometry based proteomics. His highly prolific career thus far had produced 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 20 presentations at national and international conferences, and he had been cited at least 411 times, primarily by independent researchers at prominent and leading institutions and organizations worldwide. This remarkable citation record clearly indicates the major significance of our client’s work. He had also reviewed at least 14 manuscripts for 9 or more distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. 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 Analytical Chemistry and Proteomics, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. An independent recommender affirmed the significance of our client’s research: “I consider [Client] as a major force of progress in proteomics research. … [Client] has an impressive publication record with more than 300 citations; insofar as this proves that other scientists have made use of his findings, it suggests that he is an uncommonly talented researcher.” With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in twenty-seven days.
