Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Fellow from India in the field of gastroenterology. Throughout his career, he had gained a comprehensive yet specialized cross-disciplinary proficiency having formal education in hospital and molecular epidemiology, internal medicine, gastroenterology, and hepatology, as well as practical laboratory experience, which enabled him to directly address crucial global healthcare challenges through a unique interdisciplinary approach. This work had resulted in at least 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading field journals, 10 invited talks and multiple presentations at conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and numerous peer-reviewed conference articles. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 173 times, clearly demonstrating that his contributions to the field of gastroenterology had already earned the respect of many researchers and professionals around the world. He had also conducted review work for at least 5 journals in his field. The importance of our client’s work in the US was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “He is also a major part of the academic side of his field, as evidenced by his many published papers and frequent peer review work. Thus, the scientific community, as well as public health, would be adversely affected if he were to cease his research efforts. The United States has one of the highest rates of IBD in the world, and researchers like [him] are integral to uncovering the causes and developing new therapies for this disease.” 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 gastroenterology, 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 7 months and 9 days.
