Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in Microbiology, Immunology, and Parasitology, and years of experience in the field of molecular biology, our client possessed the necessary credentials to file his I-140 under EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Born in India, he is an assistant professor of research developing improved therapeutic strategies by identifying the underlying mechanisms behind a variety of diseases.

An expert molecular biologist, whose letter we included in our NIW petition to the USCIS, had this to say about our client’s work: “Considering the interdisciplinary culture of biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology, one researcher’s advancements have an outsized influence on the work of many other researchers. Therefore, supporting the research of [Client] benefits several interconnected research fields at once.” This and several other letters formed part of our I-140 petition, which also included our client’s professional record. We detailed his 113 citations amassed from his 10 published papers, and the dozen peer reviews he conducted for several scientific journals.

North America Immigration Law Group worked diligently to prove that our client’s work has led to the development of important diagnostic strategies to improve hospital operations and patient outcomes in the United States. After almost seven months, the USCIS agreed with our presentation and approved our client’s I-140.
