Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a senior scientist from India in the field of crystal engineering.  He had conducted his research on the improvement of chemical synthesis methodologies and designing novel crystalline forms of useful materials. His work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 8 filed patents, 1 book chapter, and 9 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 124 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 50 manuscripts for 8 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise and the significance of his work were confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “Drugs’ water solubility is essential to their efficacy, and a lack of solubility can often prevent promising drugs from being manufactured. [Client’s] research effectively counteracts this problem by developing a method to improve the water solubility of drugs, enabling them to experience a greater realm of application..” 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 Crystal Engineering, 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 eight days.
