In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of Microbial Genomics. His specialized research has focused on food-borne illness and intestinal microbiology. His work had resulted in 17 peer-reviewed scientific articles, numerous poster and oral presentations at national and international conferences, and 1 book chapter; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 234 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 9 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] experience in the field of microbiology includes his project on the evolutionary genomics of Salmonella wherein 354 new Salmonella genomes were successfully sequenced…[Client] was vital to the creation of this public Salmonella data resource useful in molecular stereotyping and molecular epidemiology studies.” 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 Microbial Genomics, 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 1 month and 14 days.
