Case Summary:

The client in this case was a fellow in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. One area his research had focused on was a complication that can arise after weight loss surgery: gastrogastric fistula. His work had resulted in at least 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 8 published abstracts, and 22 conference proceedings. His publications had garnered at least 132 citations at the time his case was filed, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, our client had positions on the editorial boards of two internationally-circulated scientific journals. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client] consistently contributes new developments and understandings to the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. His original studies have earned him a soaring reputation among gastroenterologists and hepatologists and have placed him among the top experts in his field. Through both his own studies and his reviews of other scientists’ work, [client] has shaped the future of medicine, of cancer research, and of cancer treatment.” 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 gastroenterology and hepatology, 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 4 months, despite his previously denied EB-1A petition.
