In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Optics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of improving optical imaging techniques used to research and diagnose life-threatening diseases like cancer. His work had resulted in 15 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 200 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 15 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]'s work is important both to his fellow researchers and to the health of the people of the United States. As an expert on cardiovascular health, I can personally attest to the significance of his work with the IVPA catheter, which solves one of the major problems that physicians treating cardiovascular disease patients encounter, such as diagnosing the seriousness of the condition in a patient's arteries.” 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 Optics, 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 9 days.
