In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Researcher/Instructor from India in the field of Nuclear Medicine. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of radiation countermeasures. His work had resulted in 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles, two patent applications, two book chapters, two editorial articles, and numerous (30) presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 254 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 23 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] produced works both before and after radiation exposure by protecting tissues and cells from ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage by enhancing the repair process.” 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 Nuclear Medicine, 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 2 months and 12 days.
