The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India in the field of cancer biology. His specialized research had focused on the discovery of new components for the enhancement of cancer treatment, specifically pancreatic cancer. This work had resulted in 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 book chapters, and over 20 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications been cited at least 743 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. In addition, he had reviewed 60 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals related to his field and his research had appeared in a number of reports in major media. The importance of his continued work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] has dedicated a great fraction of his research to the study of plant compounds and their potential to be developed as cancer-fighting chemoprevenetive or chemotherapeutic agents. It is not widely known amidst the general public that natural products have actually long been at the core of cancer chemotherapy. In fact, over 47% of the current anticancer drugs commonly used have originated from natural sources. Investigation of these natural compounds is crucial to our ability to discover new agents and to better use the ones with which we are already familiar.” 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 just 1 month and 23 days.
