In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Faculty Research Associate from India in the field of Genetics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of unravelling the genetic basis for human diseases and traits. His work had resulted in 12 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 139 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 11 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The scientific community has gained much from [Client]'s work and would certainly struggle to solve many problems surrounding the markers and genetic loci of disease without his continued research presence.” 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 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 21 days.
