Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of Pathobiology.  She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of innate immunity and vaccine response. Her work had resulted in 7 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 166 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 2 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “It is no exaggeration to say that [Client]'s work has had a major effect across the whole of research into developing of influenza vaccines.” 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 Pathobiology, 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 7 months and 30 days.
