Case Summary:

With a doctoral degree in radiation biology, there is no denying that our client possesses practical and theoretical knowledge to qualify for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). After meticulously reviewing her credentials, we determined that we could build a customized case and help her obtain the National Interest Waiver.

Besides chronicling our client’s doctoral degree, we included other relevant evidence of our client’s unique skill sets and knowledge. By the time we were ready to file her case, we had amassed an extensive list of her accomplishments. For instance, our client’s 15 peer-reviewed journal articles had collected 97 citations. She had also assessed the work of her peers 3 times.

Further, we thoroughly accounted for her research on the use of advanced imaging methods to investigate the mechanisms of disease. We made sure to hone in on our client’s unique experience and expertise. We presented sufficient evidence on the benefits of her work to the United States, and emphasized that she is one of only a small handful of researchers who can obtain such impactful research results.

In the customized petition letter we drafted, our team indicated that her sustained work involving the use of state-of-the-art imaging techniques to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms holds particular value for the United States since the substantial benefit of her research addresses some of the most serious and widespread conditions confronting the healthcare system, including cancer, metabolic syndrome, and retinal diseases of the nation. We proved to USCIS that her continued research will greatly benefit this field with new knowledge as well as improve the health and welfare of the US citizens.

Further, we utilized recommendation letter signed by other experts in the field of biomedical imaging to support her case. This is what one of our client’s supporters had to say about allowing our client to remain in the US to conduct her research: “[Client] conducts research that ensures efficient and cost-effective assessments of obesity related disorders. This in turn ensures better spending of tax dollars through Medicare and Medicaid, along with providing comprehensive care to patients. Thus, it is clear that [Client]’s work is of substantial inherent importance, and she ought to be given every opportunity to continue her work in the U.S.”.

We have helped over fifteen thousand clients from various research fields obtain I-140 petition approval, and we are pleased that this approved NIW petition brought yet another client closer to Green Card success. We wish her the very best as she continues to pursue research related to the use of advanced imaging methods here in the US, and we thank her for working with North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG).
