In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of Botany. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of identification, documentation and conservation of plants as well as the authentication of botanicals used in dietary supplements. His work had resulted in 33 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 243 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 18 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has an unique blend of expertise and considering his high level of productivity and the novelty of his research[,] I strongly wish to support his application to ensure that his expertise are retained.” 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 Botany, 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 11 months and 5 days.
