In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research Assistant Professor from India in the field of Biomedical Engineering. His work is primarily focused on medical imaging. Not only have his methods aided in the development of novel computerized decision support schemes for the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and treatment evaluation of prostate cancer, but they have also steadily advanced the promise of non-invasive multi-protocol MRI technology in each of these application areas. His work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific conference or journal articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 135 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 reviews for 15 journal papers, 2 leading medical imaging conferences, 2 international workshops, and 1 international science foundation. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “[Client]’s research distinguishes itself by successfully developing different frameworks that closely actualize current clinical hypotheses in medical imaging research, specifically that the integration of multiple channels of information (structural, functional) will allow for the improved identification and staging of disease. In addition to these exceptional technical contributions, he has published on some interesting clinical aspects of the efficacy of texture and image analysis features to obtain differentiation between types of diseases and cancers. This record of ensuring clinical relevance to novel methods demonstrate his scientific expertise and high translational potential for his research career.” 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 Biomedical Engineering, 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 20 days.
