Case Summary:

The client in this case was a postdoctoral fellow from China in the field of medicinal chemistry. His research had focused on the design and development of small-molecule therapeutics for various human diseases. His work has resulted in at least 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 181 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he served as a peer reviewer for several leading chemistry journals. Of the client’s work, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “I cited one of [client’s] papers… not only because of its innovative insights, but also because I relied heavily upon the results of his paper. I have no reservation in exclaiming that [client] is among a handful of experts internationally with the technical proficiency and comprehensive experience to understand and address the critical underpinnings of contemporary medicinal chemistry.” 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 medicinal chemistry, 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 just one month.
