Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much for the effort that your team put in for my case. I appreciate it.”

On October 5th, 2020, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Scientist I in the Field of Toxicology (Approval Notice).

General Field: Toxicology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientist I

Country of Origin: India

Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: India

Approval Notice Date: October 5th, 2020

Processing Time: 16 months, 2 days

Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group was contacted by a scientist I with a Ph.D. in environmental toxicology from University of California, Riverside to support her in documenting an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Based on her scholastic background, experience, record of publication and citation, and the history of her successful research in the field of toxicology made her a perfect candidate to secure NIW approval. Thus, we confirmed her testimonies and started constructing a strong case.

To assure that our client is an impeccable resource to continue her work in the United States, we explained her research on toxicity testing and assay development. Her work in this area is of great importance because tobacco use is responsible for 20% of all cancer deaths worldwide according to the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA).

We also noted the 608 citations accumulated from the 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored) and 1 commentary she published, indicating her work as a boon to her peers in the scientific community.

Moreover, we mentioned that she had already conducted 11 reviews, at the time of filing for the case. So, this frequent review activity further demonstrated her significant reputation in the field.

We attached four recommendation letters obtained from other renowned experts in the field, indicating her work’s substantial impact on the field and that these accomplishments have well-positioned her to continue advancing the proposed endeavor. One of her recommenders opinionated:

“[Our client] is conducting this much-needed research on the negative health effects of e-cigarettes and how these devices harm young people, children, and unborn fetuses… Her work raises awareness of the damage that nicotine and tobacco due to the human body, something that is greatly needed in the United States.”

The USCIS thoroughly adjudicated her case and was successfully persuaded to approve her petition without any further request for evidence (RFE). We congratulate her on achieving the NIW approval and continuing her substantial research here in the U.S.

On October 2nd, 2020, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Research Assistant Professor in the Field of Toxicology (Approval Notice).

General Field: Toxicology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant Professor

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania

Approval Notice Date: October 2nd, 2020

Processing Time: 7 months

Case Summary:

A research assistant professor based in Pennsylvania engaged the expert services of our law firm to help him in constructing an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. With our remarkable experience in managing employment-based immigration petitions, we approved to take his case after a considerable assessment of his academic accolades. We aimed to determine that he was an individual exhibiting extraordinary ability to receive the petition approval. We ensured that he held a Ph.D. in toxicology and several years of notable merits in the field, and without an ounce of doubt, our client has the required knowledge and experience to proceed in his initiated research in the United States.

We detailed the 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 book chapter he published, which amassed 214 citations. His research has inspired many researchers around the world, thereby implying that these publications are universally recognized in the field of toxicology. Moreover, we highlighted that he had already conducted 60 reviews for highly acclaimed journals at the time of filing for the case. This validates that he is an active member of the scientific community as well in the field of toxicology.

To bolster his EB-1A case, we outlined our client’s research in his petition packet which focused on studying the mechanisms of and developing treatments for liver diseases, and his solid experience in toxicology allows his research to be particularly original, with applications such as health care and public health.

Furthermore, we included 5 letters of recommendation collected from other well-recognized experts in the field, verifying that our client has risen to the very top of his field and has sustained both national and international acclaim. One of his recommenders described our client’s work as:

“His research has provided the United States with unique therapeutic strategies for the various types of liver disease, which currently have no treatment options or extremely limited treatment options. Thus, it is clear that the continuation of [client’s] work in the United States will lead to additional discoveries for the treatment of liver diseases that others in the field of toxicology are incapable of finding.”

Even though our client’s case received an RFE (request for evidence), he won his EB1A petition approval within 7 months with the help of our diligent team. We thank him for trusting us throughout the process and congratulate him for achieving this milestone.
