Case Summary:

The client that we had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow and Assistant Research Specialist from India in the field of organic chemistry and materials science. Her work had primarily focused on performing developing novel peptide-based analogs to study their mechanisms for slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and improve anti-HIV drugs. Her work had resulted in at least 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous conference proceedings. At the time that her case was filed, these publications been cited at least 404 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of her major influence and impact on the field, in addition to her sustained international acclaim. In addition, she had reviewed at least 7 manuscripts for journals related to her field by the time we filed her case. The popularity of her research is confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I affirm that [her] work has a host of applications relevant to medicine and that her work has been and is continuing to be internationally implemented. Within the sphere of organic chemical research, [she] has made notable contributions to science and humanity by working on developing improved treatments options for such intractable diseases as Alzheimer’s Disease and HIV. For posterity, this valuable work by [her] is destined to bear fruit for future generations in the form of more directed and potent disease treatments.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of organic chemistry and materials science, 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 less than 7 months.
