In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from India in the field of Medicinal Chemistry. His work had primarily focused on the innovation of novel polymer systems and investigation of Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, malaria, leishmania and neurodegenerative disease conditions. His work had resulted in 17 peer-reviewed scientific articles; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 130 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 23 manuscript reviews for journals and had served as an editorial member of 6 journals of international repute. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As is evident from a review of the research, [his] work requires the highest expertise, both technical and intellectual. His work represents a novel approach to therapeutic targets for a number of diseases where every approach must be considered. The risk of not supporting [his] work is the risk of overlooking the next viable cure for some of today's top ailments.” 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 Medicinal 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 7 months and 11 days.
