Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Associate from China in the field of Molecular Biology.  She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of elucidating the etiology of glutamate overproduction in HIV patients, particularly those suffering from HIV-associated neurodegenerative diseases (HANDs), uncovering and clarifying various microcellular neurological processes, and developing a technique to enhance the effectiveness of the cell transplantation process. Her work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 271 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 14 manuscripts for 5 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Contributions like these being made by [Client] are vital to both the American populace and the world and to deny [Client] her petition would be to the detriment of the United States.” 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 Molecular 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 month and 15 days.
