In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India in the field of Biochemistry. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of designing, testing, and processing novel small-molecule modulators of eukaryotic gene expression. His work had resulted in 17 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 review papers, 2 patents, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 397 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 4 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] set out to identify the drugs that show the most promise for both inducing and blocking cervical ripening. While induction is required in cases where the cervix does not open on its own, blocking is used to reverse cervical remodeling so as to prevent preterm labour; hence, [Client’s] research treats this issue from all relevant angles, as it provides scientists with flexible and convenient methods for preventing preterm birth and inducing delivery at opportune times.” 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 Biochemistry, 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 only 4 days.
