Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Scientist I from China in the field of Microbiology and Biochemistry.  She had conducted her research in revealing the effective targeting influenza virus using RNAi with a lentiviral vector delivery and the stable cell lines. Her work had resulted in 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 patent, and 3 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 207 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work.  She has served as a manuscript reviewer for at least 8 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] conducted a study that deepened our understanding of the status of H5Nl infection among people who were directly exposed to domestic poultry, and hers is the first study to investigate potential cases of human infection… Her investigation offers valuable information for confronting avian influenza outbreaks.” 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 Microbiology and Biochemistry, 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 4 months and 4 days.
