Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Food Science and Biotechnology.  His specialized research has focused on phenolic phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables, as well as food nanotechnology application to enhance the bioactivity of phenolic phytochemicals in human consumption. His work had resulted in 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 5 presentations at national and international conferences, and 1 patent; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 170 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 201 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client], with his strong food science and chemistry background, has also designed other types of edible nanoparticles based on different characteristics of various phenolic phytochemicals.... These novel edible nanoparticle designs play an important role in the food and food supplement industries because they improve the application of bioactive phenolic phytochemicals.” 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 Food Science and Biotechnology, 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 4 months and 30 days.
