The client that we had the pleasure of working with, in this case, was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India in the field of Virology. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of virology, gene therapy, and hepatocellular carcinoma with a focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms of chronic viral infection and development of resistance to antiviral drugs. His work had resulted in 41 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 14 presentations at national and international conferences, and 1 patent. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 560 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 7 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals related to his field. His superior level of achievement was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Before we can begin to fight diseases, we must have useful and efficient cell - based models to gain an understanding of these diseases at the molecular level. [He] has done precisely that using his outstanding skills and ingenuity. He has established himself as an expert in the field. As a result, researchers on an international level have cited [his] work over 500 times, a tremendous amount of citations and acknowledgement of his superb skill.” 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 5 months and 4 days.
