Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Fellow from India in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.  He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of investigating protein toxins and their translocation across membranes. His work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 2 book chapters, 1 review and numerous presentations at national and international conferences and seminars; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 298 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 17 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, [Client’s] foundational studies are the backbone of future efforts to improve food safety, the rational design of new drugs, and cancer therapies as an alternative solution to current therapeutics. The importance of [Client’s] work on colicins is highlighted by the great number of citations he has already received as a postdoctoral researcher.” 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 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 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 just 2 months and 23 days.
