Case Summary:
In this case, we worked with a Chinese scientist specializing in infectious disease to help him file an O1-A (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement) petition. With our guidance, his O1-A petition was approved in just 10 days thanks to Premium Processing (PP).
What went into the O-1A dossier?
After carefully reviewing our client’s various achievements and looking into his research projects, we established that his findings on molecular biology and virology techniques to prevent the spread of infectious disease could facilitate clinical trials and vaccine development in order to treat infectious diseases such as HIV and influenza. We also incorporated data such as our client’s citation count, publication record, and peer review experience. At the time of filing, these numbers stood at 195 citations, 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles, one published letter to the editor, and 30 performance of peer review services.
As part of our legal strategy, our team helped him select suitable recommenders who could support his O1-A case. These recommenders are composed of other well-known experts in the field of infectious disease, and one of whom had this to say about our client’s work: “As shown by his impressive record, [Client]’s unique combination of research experience has provided him with a particularly comprehensive understanding of HIV/AIDS. Not only is [Client] capable of coordinating groundbreaking research in the field, but he is able to apply his discoveries practically to optimize neutralizing antibodies for the design of therapeutic agents. It is for these reasons that [Client]’s expertise constitutes an invaluable asset to the field of infectious disease as well as to the healthcare sector in general, which benefit immeasurably from his research”.
Our client has already begun to work for his US petitioning employer, a biotech firm based in California, with his approved O1-A visa to continue his valuable research which could bring about enormous impact on the US medicine and healthcare industries. We thank him for choosing us to represent his O1-A petition, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors in the field of infectious disease.
