In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant from India in the field of Plant Science. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of elucidating the genetic factors that determine plant growth and development, with a particular emphasis on light signaling and morphology. Her work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 495 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 25 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has a unique expertise in basic and applied research. She is an accomplished molecular biologist with highly cited publications in international journals of repute. In contrast to many molecular biologists who work on model plants such as Arabidopsis, [Client] has chosen to work on important food crops.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Plant Science, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 27 days.
