In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Biochemistry. His specialized research has focused on the biochemistry of bacterial isoprenoid biosynthesis and the biological conversion of methane to methanol. His work had resulted in 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 6 presentations at regional, national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 223 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 20 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] work trapping and characterizing the key reaction intermediates boasts the monumental achievement of being the first ever observation of direct iron-carbon interactions in iron-sulfur enzyme catalysis. This result is directly responsible for ending the old debate, and the bio-organometallic catalytic mechanisms of IspH and IspG catalysis are now accepted throughout the scientific community.” 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 Biochemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 5 days.
