For this case we worked with a Veterinarian from China with a specialized focus on animal biology, which translates from veterinary practice to human health in understanding calcium absorption and bone metabolism, viral infections, and regulators of food intake and body weight. His highly prolific career thus far has produced 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. His work has been cited at least 147 times, primarily by independent researchers at prominent and leading institutions and organizations worldwide. This remarkable citation record clearly indicates the major significance of our client’s work. He had also reviewed at least 11 manuscripts for 6 or more distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. 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 Veterinary Science, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. An independent recommender affirmed the significance of our client’s research: “He has made inroads in the fight against pathogens like West Nile virus and canine distemper virus. This valuable work is contributing to improved clinical practice and treatment for these diseases for humans and for better veterinary medicine for infected animals, whether pets, livestock, or otherwise.” With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 2 months and 23 days.
