Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Scientific Researcher from India in the field of Immunology.  His specialized research has focused on the study of deadly enteric-diarrheal diseases, with a particular emphasis on cholera, colitis, and enteric cancer. His work had resulted in at least 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles and at least 8 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 249 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 19 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “It was [client’s] demonstration that skin-patch vaccines are safe and able to provide long-lasting immunity from enteric diseases that allowed researchers at the National Institutes of Health to make advancements regarding conjugated-biochemical vaccines for diseases.” 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 Immunology, 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 2 months and 10 days.
