Case Summary:

The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of virology. His research had been conducted in the highly specialized areas of virus pathogenesis, virus-host interaction, and development of novel virus vaccines.  His work had resulted in at least 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences.  At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 238 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work.  In addition, he had reviewed at least 22 papers for journals related to his field by the time we filed his case. The importance of his research is confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Effectively, [his] research identifies how the incredibly damaging PRRS virus operates, and that gives us a great upper hand in vaccine development, as the citation record of this research attests. Given the financial destruction that this disease causes, [his] work on PRRSV ranks as highly significant, and indeed this paper is just one of [his] achievements on PRRSV.” 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 virology, 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 5 days.
