A postdoctoral associate from China who worked in genetics was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on the cellular therapy of islet transplantation or stem cell differentiation, and the efficient prevention of obesity and diabetes with an emphasis on nutrition. His body of work comprised 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 2 presentations at international conferences; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 306 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He has also performed peer-review service for 8 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 21 manuscripts. An independent recommender attested to our client’s superior expertise: “[Client] has made significant impact in his field and has reached the very top of his profession. I am pleased to strongly endorse [Client’s] immigration petition so as to enable him to carry out outstanding scientific researches in the United States of America.” 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 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 26 days (9 days after Requesting Premium Processing).
