Case Summary:

This client is a postdoctoral fellow from Taiwan with a specialization in virology: specifically the study of avian reovirus and coronavirus with regard to their mechanisms of replication. It was the client’s hope that he could continue his research on coronavirus replication and genomic RNA translation at the College of Veterinary Sciences within the major U.S. university for which he works. For this case, we submitted various proof of the client’s highly significant contributions to the field of virology, including his authorship of seven peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, and one conference presentation. The client’s publications often appear first among thousands of search results in Google Scholar, indicating that his were some of the most influential and important publications in the study of phylogeny and proteins associated with avian reovirus. Additionally, our firm obtained several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field, stating that "nothing like this had ever been accomplished before in the study of avian reovirus." Overall, his petition was approved in 2 months.
