Case Summary:

In this case, we had the distinct pleasure of representing a Postdoctoral Fellow from India working in the field of chemoprevention and cancer biology. His work had focused primarily on cancer biology (epithelial cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer, cancer initiation and metastasis and tumor microenvironment), and RNA interference (miRNA and cancer, application of RNAi to treat cancer, use of siRNA or shRNA and use of ant-microRNAs in animal models). His work had resulted in at least 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles; these publications had been cited at least 288 times by researchers around the world at the time his case was filed. This served as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on his field, as well as his sustained international acclaim. In addition, various experts and editors had consistently requested his expertise in service as a peer reviewer; he had conducted 15 reviews for journals related to the field of chemoprevention and cancer biology. The following quote from an independent recommender is a testament to the value of our client’s work, “The importance of [his] continued research in the field of cancer biology should be evident. Not only is [he] investigating areas that are poorly understood by his field of endeavor, his research is providing much needed insight into how to approach invasive ductal carcinoma through a more detailed understanding of biological precursors. With his important research in mind, I believe that [he] is a rare talent in the field of cancer biology. His work is clearly of distinct importance to the United States and world, and I am pleased to offer this letter to support its continuation.” It was our intent to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, as he sought to remain in the United States to continue working in the field of chemoprevention and cancer biology, and that his continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Although the average processing time for I-140 petitions is 4-6 months, with the evidence that we provided, his case was approved in just 1 ½ months.
