Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from China in the field of Plant Genetics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of investigating the molecular mechanisms of how plants uptake and allocate mineral nutrients and toxic elements, as well as how plants cope with different abiotic stresses. His work had resulted in 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 163 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 15 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has garnered a reputation as a leader in plant biology through international conference presentations, numerous peer-reviewed journal publications, and an impressive citation record that displays his profound level of influence. He is fully capable of continuing this track record of success and I am confident he will do so if he is able to continue working in the United States. I therefore author this letter on behalf of the scientific community in hopes he will be able to remain a leading research scientist in plant biology.” 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 Plant Genetics, 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 25 days.
