In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Chemistry. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of the development of unique bacteriophages to advance tissue and bone regeneration, as well as cancer treatments. His work had resulted in 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 presentations at national and international conferences, and 2 book chapters; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 276 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 39 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] became the first scientist to successfully transform a phage into a photo-responsive organic material…this study has launched the field of biomaterials into a new era because this discovery has enabled the development of smart devices that can be used for nanodevices that fall outside of the realm of non-linear optics and holography data storage.” 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 Chemistry, 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 just 8 days.
