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 biochemistry.  She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of the characterization of disease processes on the cellular level and the development of novel strategies for the efficient eradication of these diseases. 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 114 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 34 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]… [is] a highly capable and accomplished researcher in cancer research today. She combines expert knowledge of chemistry and biology, along with her background in pharmacy and biochemistry, to develop important therapeutic strategies that solve the problems with contemporary drug treatments.” 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 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 5 months and 29 days (13 days after requesting Premium Processing).
