In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Mechanical Engineering. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of the development of instrumentation technology using photoacoustics to improve the tools we have to analyze tissue oxygenation and flow speed. His work had resulted in 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 14 published conference proceedings from national and international conferences, and 5 patents and patent disclosures; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 294 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 19 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] technique allows for a far superior understanding of the energy consumption of diseases such as cancer. Cellular adaptive thermogenesis is proving to be an effective target for cancer therapies and [client’s] innovation has not only created a more accessible tool to facilitate the identification of this target, but it also provided data on the cellular metabolic rate, which in turn provides for more accurate targeted therapeutics.” 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 Mechanical Engineering, 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 2 months and 8 days.
