Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from China in the field of Synthetic and Surface Chemistry.  She conducts her research on a highly specialized area focusing on the detection of catalytic activity at the single-molecule level. Her work had resulted in 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 2 patents and a presentation at an internationally attended scientific conference; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 237 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 18 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Additionally, [client] investigated the use of polymer pen lithography (PPL), which is a novel technique for molecular printing. [Client] showed that the use of PPL solves many of the challenges linked with printing glycan arrays, as it reduces the feature diameters and can implement carbohydrate compatible surface immobilization reactants.” 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 Synthetic and Surface Chemistry, 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 24 days.
