We Received EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval on December 3rd, 2013 for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Bioorganic Chemistry (Approval Notice)
General Field: Bioorganic Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
National Origin: India
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

Case Summary:
In this case, we had the distinct pleasure of representing a Postdoctoral Fellow from India working in the field of bioorganic chemistry. His original and significant contributions had included the synthesis of complex organic compounds for the synthesis of collagen model systems and the development of treatment of diseases like osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, sepsis, and cancers, which are some of the most common medical disorders in the United States. At the time of case filing, his work had resulted in at least 12 peer-reviewed scholarly publications appearing in leading journals, multiple conference presentations and international conference proceedings, and a book chapter. These publications had accumulated at least 134 citations by researchers the world over. This served as objective evidence of his sustained international acclaim, as well as his major influence and impact on his field. In addition, he had conducted 19 paper reviews for journals related to the field of bioorganic chemistry and had served on the editorial boards of 3 journals. The immense value of his work is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] has several original contributions to his name in the field of peptide chemistry. Firstly, he successfully developed new, unique and reproducible route to synthesize phosphinic pseudodipeptides, key intermediates for the solid-phase synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors...[He] has already provided enormously valuable and foundational knowledge on this subject, and I am certain that if permitted to stay in the United States, he will continue to make such seminal discoveries.” It was our aim to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of bioorganic chemistry, and that his continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 ½ months.
