Case Summary:

North American Immigration Law Group had the opportunity here to work with an exceptional research fellow from China, who had conducted her research on the specialized topic of screening for new anticancer drugs, working within the larger field of biomedical research, with an unusual expertise in botany and zoology allowing her to explore new and interesting potential drug sources. She had produced an impressive 28 peer-reviewed scientific articles in top-ranked journals, as well as presenting at conferences both national and international. At the time we filed her case, her publications had received no fewer than 384 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, underlining the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 28 articles for acclaimed, internationally-circulated journals. An independent advisor offered their assessment of her superior ability: “[Client’s] contributions to the scientific community’s understanding of invaluable medicinal plants have progressed medical research into these plants considerably. For instance, one of the flowers whose cultures [Client] worked to improve … has documented uses for treating paralysis caused by cerebral vascular occlusion. … [Client] has always been an exemplary researcher with a talent for focusing her efforts on filling in the most important gaps in the biomedical research community’s understanding of the natural world.” We endeavored to prove that our client, who sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Biomedical Research, qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation we provided, her case was approved in just five days.
