Case Summary:

The client in this case was a pharmacy manager in the field of pharmacognosy and natural products chemistry. His work had primarily focused on advancing this field through drug discovery from natural products and studying the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements currently being sold on the market. His work had resulted in at least 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 book chapters, and 1 book.  At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 228 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim.  In addition, he was on the Editorial Advisory Board for 5 journals and had conducted 17 paper reviews for journals related to the field of pharmacognosy and natural products chemistry. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “His advances in the chemical composition and subsequent identification methods have aided researchers worldwide, whether they wish to continue his examinations of dietary supplements, start synthesizing Hoodia compounds in the lab, or develop new, effective botanical dietary supplements of their own. [Client’s] international peers appreciate the enormous effort he put into the study of [a desert plant], and they recognize the extraordinary amount of skill and attention to detail it takes to isolate and identify individual compounds in an organism like a desert plant.” 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 pharmacognosy and natural products chemistry, 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 6 months.
