In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was an Assistant Professor in the field of Cancer Genetics. He is originally from India. His specialized research has focused on developing “gene modified T-cells.” T-cells are a type of white blood cell that travel our bodies, scanning for cellular abnormalities and infections, and they are essential for human immunity. His work had resulted in 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and 10 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 292 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 reviewed 7 manuscripts for at least 6 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s work is deeply significant to the field of cancer research, as well as to the fields of viral research and human biology, in general. Furthermore, as viruses cause some of the most deadly contagious diseases and cancers known to man, with viral outbreaks having, in the past, reached pandemic proportions, exacting a huge cost in human lives as well as deeply burdening the economy, research in this area is absolutely critical and necessary, and [client]’s work, in particular, is some of the most important being carried out today.” 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 Cancer Genetics, 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 10 days.
