Case Summary:

In this case, we had the privilege to represent a Postdoctoral Fellow from India working in the field of cancer research. His work had primarily focused on the role of protein phosphatases in cancer development and progression, identification and characterization of novel therapeutic targets against cancer, anti-cancer and chemo-preventive activity of natural compounds, and the role of microRNAs in cancer development and progression. His work had resulted in at least 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles; these publications had been cited at least 204 times by researchers around the world at the time his case was filed. This served as apparent and objective evidence of his sustained international acclaim, as well as his major influence and impact on his field of endeavor. In addition, he had acted as a judge of the work of other scientists and researchers in his field or related fields; he had conducted 27 reviews for journals related to the field of cancer research. The benefit of his work is summarized in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I have never met or collaborated with [him], but I can say confidently that his work is of the utmost importance to the illumination of cancer mechanisms that will lead to more effective therapeutic treatments. There are many different molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the growth of cancer and development of resistance to the available therapies. [He] has focused specifically on the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer, contributing highly beneficial and significant findings to the collective understanding of how malignant pathways are formed and what we can do about it, with the main goal of eliminating cancer.” It was our aim to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of cancer research, and that his continued work as a researcher would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. The average processing time for I-140 petitions is 4-6 months. But, with the evidence that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 ½ months.
