Case Summary:

The client that we had the distinct pleasure of working with in this case was a Staff Scientist from India working in the field of molecular biology. Her work had been particularly focused on understanding the mechanism of apoptosis, specifically in the development of innovative methods for the treatment and detection of cancers, leading to the improved diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of these cancers that so significantly affect the United States. Her research results had directly contributed to the common understanding of a number of cancers, as well as the advancement of the ways in which these conditions are treated. Her work had resulted in at least 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles; at the time that her case was filed, these publications had accumulated at least 336 citations. This served as objective evidence of her major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to her sustained international acclaim. In addition, she had conducted 15 paper reviews for journals related to the field of molecular biology. The following quote from an independent recommender testifies as to the essential nature of our client’s research results, “Without [her] work, much of the work in the field, including my own, would be considerably delayed. [She] is a highly unique member of our scientific community, with a background specifically suited to her chosen line of work. She is an asset to the global economy, and would certainly be an asset to the United States as well.” 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 molecular biology, 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 3 months.
