Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research Fellow in Massachusetts in the field of Biology. His work has focused specifically on identifying molecular mechanisms that affect human reproductive health, often utilizing the small nematode C. elegans as a model organism. Specifically, his research has revolved around meiotic arrest and maturation. His work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 205 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 17 manuscript reviews for at least 3 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Not only has [client]’s work been an irreplaceable asset to the academic field of biology research, but it represents major steps forward in the development of important medical advancements which are essential for the United States and the world. For example, [his] studies with C. elegans have implicated that MSP signals through the highly conserved mechanism of G protein signaling. Because of this, it is a useful tool being examined in other research efforts for its use not only in human reproduction but also in identifying drug targets for serious conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, an extremely debilitating condition that is considered on the of the most common neuromuscular diseases in the world.” 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 Biology, 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 1 month and 14 days.
