General Field: Anesthesiology

Case Summary:

Exactly 2 weeks after filing O1-A (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement) petition on behalf of an interventional pain management physician based in Florida, we received notification of case approval from the USCIS. Such expeditious adjudication was largely due to Premium Processing (PP).

Our client’s specialized research has focused on interventional pain management, and the importance of her research lies in the impact on improving patient care and advancing research on newer and more effective therapies for multiple kinds of cancer. Her studies on applications such as advanced imaging methodologies contribute to the development of more targeted and effective cancer treatments.

As a leading anesthesiology researcher who has been conducting cutting-edge studies, her research has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 peer-reviewed letter-to-the-editor, 1 peer-reviewed correspondence, 4 peer-reviewed case reports, and 1 book chapter. Collectively, these publications have garnered 334 citations, and with 3 instances of peer reviews work for highly acclaimed journals at the time we filed her case. These objective evidence demonstrates the value of her work to the country’s healthcare system as a whole.

Our argument that our client’s research addresses some of the nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the most effective imaging and treatment methods was supported by several experts in the field. Four experts signed recommendation letters in support of our client’s research that were incorporated into the O-1A petition. Two of the recommenders emphasized the importance of our client’s work by stating:

“[Client] has assumed a leading role within her area of expertise, and this is largely due to the consistently high quality and innovative nature of her research. She is truly a researcher of unique skills and singular value, and I believe her research must continue to be supported.”

These case reports, as well as [Client]’s many other valuable contributions to the field of anesthesiology and medicine in general, demonstrate that she is a highly productive and impactful member of the field whose work is improving both scholarship and actual quality of patient care in very real ways.”
