Case Summary:

The client that we had the distinct pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Associate from India working in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. His work had primarily focused on the research and development of novel synthetic methodologies using environmentally benign systems and applying them directly to the total synthesis of bioactive natural products. His work had resulted in at least 23 peer-reviewed scientific articles in leading journals and 6 peer-reviewed international conference presentations; at the time that his case was filed, these publications had accumulated at least 251 citations. This served as objective evidence of his major influence and impact on his field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. In addition, he had served as a manuscript reviewer for at least 25 distinctive and internationally-circulated journals. The following quote from an independent recommender testifies as to the importance of our client’s research, “He is an elite-level scientist whose research has been steadily advancing the level of treatment and therapies for diseases that affect huge numbers of people around the world. His commitment to this work is impressive, as evidenced by his published papers and various professional honors. As an expert in a closely related field, I want to offer my professional recommendation of [him].” It was our objective to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability since he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the evidence that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 month, well short of the average processing time of 4-6 months for I-140 petitions.
