In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from India in the field of Biochemistry. Her specialized research has focused on improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in genomic DNA instability, as it relates to aging and human diseases such as cancer. Her work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scholarly articles published in leading journals, 2 US patents, and numerous conference abstracts, presentations, and proceedings; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 74 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 18 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “By focusing on repair enzymes, this work has the high likelihood of clinical applications that will better identify new therapeutics for a variety of issues; from aging, to therapies for many diseases such as the many forms of cancer. Given the prevalence of diseases through mis-regulated polymerases, [client’s] work easily falls into one of the most important areas of research of the modern age.” 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 Biochemistry, 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 6 months and 8 days.
