Case Summary:

The client that we had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research Associate from India in the field of microbiology. Her specialized research has focused on the basic mechanisms of bacterial cell growth and division so that new targets can be identified for the development of new antibiotic treatments. This work had resulted in at least 17 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that her case was filed, these publications been cited at least 642 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also conducted at least 12 paper reviews for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals related to her field. The importance of her continued work in the field was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[She] is uniquely skilled in the study of bacterial cytoskeletal elements that play essential roles in the ability of bacteria to grow, divide, and maintain cell shape. A detailed understanding of how these cytoskeletal proteins contribute to such fundamental cell biological processes is needed to develop new classes of antibiotics that target these elements in rational ways. The flourishing of multiple-antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria, especially in hospital settings, is one of the major healthcare problems in this and other countries, and new classes of antibiotics are urgently needed. [Her] work has, therefore, both considerable fundamental and clinical significance.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in just 10 days.
