Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from China in the field of Chemistry. His specialized research has focused on catalysis and photochemistry. His work had resulted in 22 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 350 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 reviewed 30 manuscripts for at least 12 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Chemistry research is the future to so many fields and areas of science, and [client] made important contribution in this important area. If he is allowed to continue his important work in the United States, I have no doubt he will continue to advance the understanding of telecommunications and information storage. His skills in these particular specialties are outstanding and any country would be lucky to claim his residency.” 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 only 8 days.
