In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Assistant Professor from India in the field of Microbiology. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of lung vascular diseases including acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. Her work had resulted in 16 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 146 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also served as a manuscript reviewer for at least 5 internationally-circulated journals and 1 publisher. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] current work will undoubtedly allow rapid advancements in discovering new medicines for RILI and chronic inflammation of lung airway patients.” 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 Microbiology, 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 8 months and 21 days.
