Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an internal medicine resident from India in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Specifically, our client’s specialized research has focused on cardiovascular disease in women as well as the epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases through the comprehensive analysis of large, nationwide databases. Her work had resulted in 20 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 6 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 79 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 14 manuscripts for 5 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] research has provided very valuable information concerning trends in myocardial infarction frequency among young women. In addition, her work focused on risks associated with intracranial stenting has also provided substantial knowledge about the procedure in association with stroke.” 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 cardiovascular medicine, 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 13 days.
