In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India in the field of Computational Biology. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of developing statistical and computational models to analyze genomic data and applying these models to understand evolution and complex diseases. His work had resulted in 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 889 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 20 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] developed a model that uses genetic variation signatures to accurately study Neanderthal local ancestry. [Client’s] studies have shown that these variants were beneficial to human adaptations and impacted several human phenotypes.” 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 Computational Biology, 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 27 days.
