In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from China in the field of Nanomedicine. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of the use of nanoparticles in the delivery of chemotherapeutics and biologics. Her work had resulted in 16 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 659 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 22 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] work has developed a way to make it possible to take medications and treatments such as insulin orally. Before she began her research it was very difficult to deliver a protein drug to the target location when it was administered orally. [Client’s] work has helped to change that.” 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 Nanomedicine, 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 just 3 days.
