In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a dentist from India. He received training in the US as an Orthodontist, and also in the area of Forensic Toxicology. His work and research was in the area of esthetics in dentistry and orthodontics, enhancing the rate of tooth movement, drug interactions and pharmacogenomics of drugs of abuse. His work had resulted in 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, as well as numerous case reports, invited commentaries, and review articles. He had also authored 2 book chapters, and has numerous presentations at national and international conferences and seminars. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 110 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 was also active in the scientific community as a peer reviewer for several highly acclaimed journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s distinctive background in forensic science and dentistry ideally suited him to conduct several of these projects. Adverse drug reactions, poly-drug interactions, herb-drug interactions, and medication errors are some of the leading causes of death in the United States, and result in billions of dollars in avoidable and unnecessary health care industry costs.” 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 Orthodontics and Forensic Toxicology, 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 6 months and 18 days.
