Case Summary:
The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a postdoctoral research fellow from India in the field of computational and statistical genetics, a major discipline in computational biology. His research had primarily focused on invention of computational and statistical methods for the analysis and understanding of how genes in an organism interact with one another and also with environmental factors external to the organism leading to complex observable characteristics (phenotypes) and diseases. His work had resulted in at least 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles and, at the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 281 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 15 paper reviews for journals related to the fields of genetics, genomics, and computational biology and was a member of the editorial board for a journal. The following statement from an independent, international expert is a testament to the value placed on his work, “Judging from his exceptional published works, I consider [him] as one of the world’s leading researchers in the interdisciplinary field of Computational and Statistical Genetics…[he] has made original contributions to the field and has earned well-deserved recognition from the international community of researchers and performs at the top of tier of academic excellence and scientific accomplishments.” 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 computational and statistical genetics, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was swiftly approved in just 5 days.
