In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an Instructor from China in the field of Cancer Biology. Her specialized research has focused on cancer immunology. Her work had resulted in 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 book chapters, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 477 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 32 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] discovered that the aggressive growth and migration of leukemia K562 cells was significantly inhibited by the overexpression of TIMP-3 in culture. Her detailed mechanistic work illustrated poor vessel maturity and a high rate of apoptosis in nude mice tumor, confirming the antiangiogenic properties of TIMP-3 in leukemia inhibition.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Cancer Biology, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 21 days.
