In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an Assistant Professor from India in the field of Periodontics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of systematic inflammation, periodontal disease and associated risks, with particular emphasis on diabetes. His work had resulted in 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 abstracts published in professional venues; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 150 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 4 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] work makes clear that the risk of developing atherosclerotic heart diseases is significantly increased in the presence of periodontal disease and diabetes, and his research is making the biologic rationale for this association clearly understood.” 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 Periodontics, 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 19 days.
