Case Summary:
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from India in the field of bioengineering. His specialized research had focused on the development of innovative polymeric bimimetic materials with a variety of important clinical applications and his work had resulted in at least 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 500 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 at least 4 manuscripts for journals related to his field by the time we filed his case. In addition, his research had appeared in a number of reports in major media. The immeasurable importance of his research is confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Furthermore, [his] continued research in this area, as highlighted by his previous research, will continue to advance the scientific communities understanding of this very complicated field, through the development of engineered polymeric biomaterials in clinical settings for finding the new generation of regenerative therapies and treatment strategies.” 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 bioengineering, 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 just 6 days.
