Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral fellow from China in the field of neurobiology. [Client’s] specialized research has focused on the mechanisms underlying hearing and olfaction function. His work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 7 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 260 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 24 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “He is a key player in the field of neurobiology and it is imperative that he is able to pursue his line of work. Halting his progress would be a considerable disadvantage to the field of neural development, as exemplified by the progress he has made regarding hearing transduction and its future implications as far as human deafness and hearing disorders are concerned.  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 neurobiology, 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 23 days.
