In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher in California in the field of Physical Chemistry. His specialized research has focused on the applications of fluorescence imaging in molecular cell biology. Specifically, he has used fluorescence microscopy to study the activation mechanisms of membrane receptors implicated in disease, and developed novel DNA labeling and image analysis methods for live cell chromatin dynamics study and STORM data analysis, respectively. His work had resulted in 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 213 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 20 manuscript reviews for at least 6 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s work has provided molecular science with some of the best imaging methods currently available… As a pioneering and leading in the field of super-resolution imaging, I can safely assure you that [he] is a truly talented researcher whose work has already had an impact on a number of single-molecule and super-solution imaging techniques and who has advanced our understanding of a number of cellular processes. I most enthusiastically support his application and his continued research career.” 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 Physical 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 11 days.
