Case Summary:
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a staff scientist from China in the field of neuroscience. Our client’s specialized research has focused on understanding various aspects of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Her work had resulted in 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 9 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 88 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 23 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] research seeks to advance scientific understanding of severe and prevalent neurological conditions that plague millions of people throughout the world each year. Her in -depth analysis of the functions of genes and gene products directly related to schizophrenia, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease has filled in a gap of knowledge for the field of neuroscience. [Client’s] research allows for the development of cutting edge treatments that change lives and transform health care systems.” 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 neuroscience, 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 1 month and 29 days.
