In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from India in the field of Biological Sciences. He conducts the majority of his research in the highly specialized area of bacteriology, studying bacteria as powerful tools for environmental purposes and examining the role of bacterial and human protein interaction in gastrointestinal disease. His work had resulted in 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 156 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 10 manuscript reviews for at least 6 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Knowing the mechanisms that take place on a microscopic level is essential to any major scientific advancement, as changes at even the smallest levels have huge implications on our world and technologies. [Client]'s contributions to redox sensors of toxic metals are a prime example of this, ensuring the safety of our environment and water supply through knowledge of an important mechanism. The importance of [client]’s work in this scientific field is clear, as his research not only contributes to our foundation of knowledge, but also contributes to the applications of this knowledge.” 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 Biological Sciences, 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 6 months and 9 days.
