A research scientist from China who worked in neuroscience was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. His body of work comprised 30 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 2,274 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He has also performed peer-review service for 16 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 47 manuscripts. An independent recommender attested to our client’s superior expertise: “[Client] has made significant breakthroughs in understanding differences in brain networks between the sexes and the paths of information flow within resting-state brains. These discoveries, among [Client’s] many other important accomplishments, position him at the top of his field.” 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 Neuroscience, 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 26 days (11 days after requesting Premium Processing).
