Case Summary:

With this case, we at North American Immigration Law Group were given the opportunity to work with a postdoctoral researcher from India whose research focused on the discovery, analysis, and development of medicinally and pharmaceutically important natural products derived from medicinal plants. He had given numerous presentations at national and international conferences, and published 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles; at the time of filing, those publications had accumulated at least 164 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong demonstration of the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 28 manuscripts for at least 17 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s superior level of expertise: “[Client’s] studies have implementations across a whole gamut of applications in medicine and industries like the pharmaceutical industry and his work is foundational to the development of new therapeutics for such wide-ranging diseases as fungal and bacterial infections and cancer… [Client’s] work has been recognized by academics and industry experts alike as fundamentally significant to the development of next-generation technologies and modalities through better understanding and discovery.” 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 Chemistry, 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 three months and sixteen days.
