Case Summary:

In this case, we had the great pleasure to represent a Postdoctoral Fellow from India working in the field of molecular biology.  Her work had focused primarily on phytoremediation of heavy metals and toxicity in organisms, gene regulation by androgenic hormones under aging and oxidative stress in various cancer cells, and the identification of novel proteins involved in the TGF-β1 growth factor related signaling in kidney fibrosis.  At the time of case filing, her work had resulted in at least 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles; these publications had been cited at least 142 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of her major influence and impact on her field, in addition to her sustained international acclaim.  In addition, she had significant experience with judging the work of others in her field, having conducted 21 paper reviews for journals related to the field of molecular biology and having served on the editorial boards of 3 journals.  The importance of her work throughout her field is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “[She] has made key progress in the identification of signaling pathways involved in kidney fibrosis, the formulation of animal models that can mimic kidney fibrosis in humans, and in antifibrotic drug development.  Drugs targeting the proteins she has identified will most likely be of significant use in treating kidney fibrosis as well as preventing failure of other organs.  [Her] research will greatly aid in the search for a cure for this disease that affects so many Americans.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as she sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of molecular biology, and that her continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the extensive documentation that we provided, her case was approved in just 7 weeks.
