The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Research Associate from India in the field of virology. His work had primarily focused on the research of the specific mechanisms of viruses, including HIV and rotaviruses, and related complications, like drug resistance, and treatments. His work had resulted in 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 719 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 reviewed 6 manuscripts for journals related to his field and had served on an editorial board. The national importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The demand for new methods of treatment for HIV is exceedingly high in the United States, where spending to combat the global epidemic has nearly double in recent years. The design and creation of new drugs in this area would be a huge economic boon to the United States. [His] work is especially essential foundational research for these types of pharmaceutical developments. He has completed important groundwork here for the extension of his work to those working within the pharmaceuticals industry and the clinical setting.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, 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 16 days.
