In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral scholar from China in the field of computational biology. Specifically, our client’s specialized research has focused on the research of coronary heart disease, gene regulatory networks, and other bioinformatics data and modeling for biomarker discovery and disease treatment. Her work had resulted in 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles, a book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 141 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 12 manuscripts for at least 5 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As various organizations within the United States have relied upon [client’s] research it is obvious that her work is exemplary and is targeted at achieving worthwhile goals for the betterment of the American economy and health care. [Client] is an exceptional researcher with extraordinary talents, and her innovative research bespeaks a future career with similar successes.” 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 computational 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 1 year, 3 months and 13 days.
