Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a PhD Candidate in Georgia in the field of Chemistry. Her specialized research has focused on binding and immuno-stimulation of oligochitosan, nano-biomaterial in tissue engineering, the induction of osteosarcoma for apoptosis, and novel treatments for osteoarthritis. Her work had resulted in 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles in international publications. At the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 550 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of her major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to her sustained international acclaim. She had also conducted 16 manuscript reviews for at least 10 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Approximately 400 children and adolescents are diagnosed with osterosarcoma each year in the United States. 37% of these children will die. In my opinion and belief, [client]’s research in discovering new pharmaceuticals will radically increase the chances of survival for these children. Therefore, in my judgment, to ensure continued progress in the fight against lethal bone cancer, [client] must be permitted to remain an active researcher on U.S. soil.” 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 Chemistry, 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 28 days.
