In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Scientist from India in the field of Biomedical Research. Prior to retaining us, his I-140 was denied due to insufficient evidence. His specialized research has focused on natural killer cell adoptive immunotherapy for cancer. His work had resulted in 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 21 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 131 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 10 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Moreover, he had also been recently recruited to act as a book editor. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] successfully modified NK cells using trogocytosis to transfer the CCR7 chemokine receptor and other receptors, granting them the ability to migrate to lymph nodes. …Thus, [client’s] technique of using trogocytosis to program NK cells to seek and find cancer throughout the body is a major innovation.” 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 Research, 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 3 months and 18 days.
