State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania

Approval Notice Date: March 17th, 2015

Case Summary:

A biological chemist from India who worked as a research associate was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on the characterization of several cellular mechanisms to understand their role in disease progression and protection. His body of work comprised 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 review articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 166 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He has also performed peer-review service for 9 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 14 manuscripts. An independent recommender attested to our client’s superior expertise: “This was the first study to determine the effects of osmolytes on cellular macromolecules using a highly proficient method. [Client’s] method is much faster and more efficient than previous methods, thus overcoming a critical barrier to studying complex natural mixtures of osmolytes.” 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 Biological Chemistry, 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 twenty-five days.
