In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Assistant Professor from India in the field of Medical Imaging. Her specialized research has focused on the development of groundbreaking new technologies and procedures for the detection, diagnosis, and evaluation of deadly diseases like prostate and brain cancer. Her work had resulted in 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles, over 10 abstracts at leading national and international conferences, and 26 invited and reviewed presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 187 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 55 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] used MRI to evaluate radiotherapy and its early effects on patients. This method has led to an increased ability to predict short- and long-term patient outcomes. Her system makes identification of prostate cancer recurrence and residual disease possible through high-powered combination of segmentation, registration, feature extraction, and classifier tools, which was shown to be more effective than other available technologies.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Medical Imaging, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 4 months and 3 days.
