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 Microbiology. His specialized research has focused on understanding the interactions between various systems within a cell, as well as how those interactions are generated. His work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference publications; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 148 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 12 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, [Client] was able to demonstrate the transport mechanism as well as the way actin holds the Gαi/LGN/NuMA complex and dynein at the cell cortex. His results suggested that the regulated cortical release and transport of this complex via astral MTs may contribute to spindle positioning in mammalian cells, offering yet another way in which to understand the potential mechanisms involved.” 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 Microbiology, 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 4 months and 6 days.
