Case Summary:

In this specific case, the client had been working in the field of Crop Science and Biotechnology. In these fields, her work had focused on the investigation of plant mechanisms affected by environmental stresses, in order to identify and produce stronger, hardier crops with increased yield and enhanced drought-resistance, for implementation by marginalized populations in arid regions.

Considering the wide-spread focus of this research, it was important to clearly identify the significant contributions this client had made to these fields, in order to justify her extraordinary ability.

With this in consideration, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates identified this client’s four largest contributions to these two fields and reinforced the impact of this research through the drafting of several recommendation letters that were signed by experts in various fields of research.

Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched a plethora of AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that set precedence for establishing evidence in similar cases. As this client had received media coverage for her contributions to the field of Biotechnology, we cited an AAO decision that allowed for the citation of received media coverage to show the impact of a client’s research on a national scale. Furthermore, we researched and highlighted the impact of this client’s work to the overall fields of Crop Science and Biotechnology through numerous sources that reinforced the contributions provided by this client’s published research.
