In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research Associate from China in the field of neuroimaging. His specialized research had focused on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI of the brain in an attempt to understand this complex organ’s functionality and plasticity as we go through life. This work had resulted in at least 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 27 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 142 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 99 manuscripts, including both papers and abstracts. His superior level of achievement was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “To solve this complex issue, [his] study aimed to apply adapted existing technologies to collect simultaneous data at multiple sites throughout the brain. With this elegant model, [he] has effectively become the first scientist to offer new insights into the tight coupling between resting-state fMRI and broad-band local field potential powers in an anesthetized rat brain.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, 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 27 days.
