Case Summary:

“[The client] is an expert cardiology researcher who has dedicated his career to analyzing and reporting the existing data on CVDs and the level of risk for patients. [Client’s] work ensures that physicians are capable of providing the best care, with the least risk for cardiovascular patients. This results in a decreased need for further medical intervention, overall lessening the burden of healthcare costs on individuals and the entire system.”

“To further improve the state of cardiology healthcare in the United States, it is imperative that [client] be permitted to continue his research, as he has proven himself an irreplaceable leader in the field.”

These are two testimonials from experts about a client who came to us seeking help with his EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case. As we came to discover later, the client had a fellowship in cardiology and was himself an expert in the field of cardiology. Hailing from India, he had an MBBS and was looking forward to keep working here in the United States. He is one of the few leading interventional cardiology experts focused on improving overall cardiovascular outcomes following advanced coronary and structural cardiac interventions like coronary angioplasty, rotational atherectomy, trans-catheter valve replacements, and mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock in cardiology, and he has achieved a consistent and notable record of success and influence in these areas of study.

Not only did we find this but we also gathered information about his academic and professional career, such as the publication count, citation records and review experience. This information was then utilized by our team in building a solid case for him. Given the strictures of the USCIS for EB1-A cases, we had to make sure that our client’s petition had all the required information and relevant documents attached.

Through the petition letter, we informed the adjudicating authorities that he has actively engaged his peers in the field of cardiology by authoring and co-authoring 28 peer-reviewed articles that have been published in international journals. At the same time, he has submitted evidence of 155 citations, along with 4 letters from experts in the field attesting to the importance and significance of his contributions. His discoveries have also gone on to influence his peers. That is, these publications have been cited by researchers in at least 30 countries, according to Google Scholar. And as an expert in the field, he has been called to conduct at least 22 reviews for journals of national and international reputation.

All of this information put together, made for a very impressive petition the success of which brought us great pleasure. We are also very grateful to our client for continuing to show his trust in us by retaining us to file his NIW and I-485 applications.
