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 animal science. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of monogastric animal nutrition. Her work had resulted in 32 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 151 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 11 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender,“The diversity of [client’s] contributions is vast, and in my expert opinion the United States requires the continuation of her important research in the field of animal nutrition. [Client’s] research is providing a much needed improvement relating to the utilization of increased levels of arginine, an area of great interest for improving the health of pigs. I can personally attest to the impressive stature and standing of her accomplishments and I am pleased to offer my support in this area.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of animal science, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 22 days.
