Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellow in Michigan in the field of Medical Sciences. He conducts his unique multidisciplinary research largely on risk and outcome prediction in the medical field, with topics touching on Gastroenterology, Cardiology, and Hepatology. Specifically, his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing healthcare issues by determining individual risks for diseases and outcomes based on certain events, conditions, and other factors. His work had resulted in 27 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 32 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 19 manuscript reviews for 8 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] is an expert in internal medicine with special training in gastroenterology and Hepatology and his work affects a great number of lives. It is commendable that [he] is able to contribute to this broader field of medicine where he is helping to better the health of those whose conditions do not easily fit in one specific category.” 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 Medical Sciences, 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 and 20 days.
