Processing Time: 7 months, 11 days
In this case, North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with a postdoctoral fellow who was from China and whose expertise was in the field of Molecular Biology. She had conducted specialized research focused on the molecular mechanisms involved in obesity and cancer. Client’s research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in healthcare by providing novel treatment targets for these prevalent and devastating health conditions. Her strong background in medicine, biochemistry, and molecular biology has allowed her research to be particularly original, with real applications in the treatment of cancer and obesity related disease. Her work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and a presentation at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 289 times by independent leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 28 manuscripts for 8 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s work was so impressive and revolutionary since BMP (bone morphogenic protein) was traditionally involved only in bone formation. Her study was the first study that demonstrated that BMP is also involved in stem cell adipogenesis. This is such a significant result for the understanding of the molecular mechanism of stem cell adipogenesis. Her data have shed a new light for the treatment of obesity since stem cell adipogenesis is one of the main causes of obesity. And, as you know well, obesity is one of the biggest health treats in US now due to its involvement in many metabolic diseases including high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, type Il diabetes, etc.” 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 work in the area of extraordinary ability, and that her work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 7 months, 11 days.
