Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the field of Biomedical Sciences. Her work is primarily focused on identifying the genes responsible for complex and rare pediatric orthopedic diseases such as macrodactyly and cancer, like chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and understanding the genetics of Y chromosomes and its association with mammalian fertility. Her work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 21 conference presentations and publications, and 1 book chapter. At the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 86 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of her major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to her sustained international acclaim. She had also conducted 3 grant reviews related to the field of molecular genetics. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Her contributions to pinpointing the genes and signaling pathways that regulate these syndromes will have a lasting impact on the health of children around the world, which in turn till benefit for many social and economic factors including health, education, and commerce. . . The global reach of her work brings economic healthcare benefits to the United States and any country that adopts her results into their own country.” 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 Biomedical Sciences, 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 7 months and 18 days.
