Case Summary:
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an associate specialist from China in the field of plant biology. Our client’s specialized research has focused on documenting the mechanisms contributing to plant development regulation and the transcription factors involved in plant gene expression regulation across genomes. His work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 529 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 manuscripts for 6 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I feel uniquely qualified to discuss some of [client’s] most impressive studies, which have centered on the molecular interactions through which light controls gene expression in plants. These mechanisms are fascinating, and are necessary to study, as peak plant growth is critical to innumerable industries like agriculture and pharmaceuticals.” 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 biology, 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 19 days.
