In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research Scientist from India in the field of Microbiology. His specialized research has focused on developing new methods of detecting and eradicating harmful bacteria in a wide variety of environments. His work had resulted in at least 22 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 127 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 20 manuscript reviews for at least 5 distinctive, internationally circulated journals and 30 grant proposal reviews. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The ability to detect harmful bacteria in fluids, on solid surfaces, or even in human bodies, is extremely valuable to scientists, health and safety regulators, and doctors alike. The decontamination of those entities is also, naturally, very important, as is the discovery of new bacteria that infect those entities. In fact, [client]’s research has contributed to all of these multiple facets of microbiology which are of great importance to our everyday lives.” 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 Microbiology, 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 5 months and 14 days.
