In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Professor from China in the field of Linguistics. His work is primarily focused on understanding Chinese exegesis, classic phonology, and ancient dialects’ voice systems. His work had resulted in at least 32 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 3 books, and 3 book chapters. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 186 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 national acclaim. He has also conducted hundreds of paper reviews for some distinctive, nationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “A greater understanding of one of the oldest and most complex languages worldwide is helpful in terms of providing historical context as well as aiding in general linguistics studies by allowing researchers to divine the relationships between phonemes, etymology, and lexical meanings. [Client] is one of the most accomplished in this area, and it would be to the benefit of researchers the world over to allow him to continue his work.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to enter 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 10 months and 3 days.
