In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of molecular immunology. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of molecular oncology, including expression profiles of mucins, the roles of mucins in pancreatic and gastric cancers, and infectious diseases. This work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 24 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 293 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. In addition, he had served as a manuscript reviewer and editorial board member for a distinctive, internationally-circulated journal, and had reviewed abstracts for the scientific society Sigma Xi. The importance of his continued work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As over 90% of people will be exposed to HSV1 at least once in their lifetime, it is critical that [he] is allowed to continue his critical research. His work has already enabled the advancement of protective measures against these viruses and more and it would be detrimental to both our country and the world if he were to stop now.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of molecular immunology, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 4 months and 12 days.
