In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Cardiology Fellow from India in the field of Cardiology. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of meta-analysis of studies on important topics in Cardiology. His work had resulted in 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 126 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 15 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Prior to [Client’s] research, the importance of the variability of blood pressure in the short and long term effects of hypertension were ill understood. [Client’s] research has been instrumental in unraveling some of these mysteries in diagnosis and management of hypertension.”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 Cardiology, 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 7 days.
