Case Summary:

A postdoctoral researcher from Taiwan hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Our client, who works in the field of neurobiology, is conducting research on ankyrins, GPCRs, and GABAA receptors. We proved that not only do her research results directly contribute to the understanding of the basis of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular issues, they also benefit the United States public health, medical research, and drug development efforts.

As part of our approach, we advised our client to connect with other experts in her field and ask them for letters of support. The five letters that she gathered were included in our carefully prepared EB-2 NIW petition dossier. One of these experts explained the significance of maintaining scientists of our client’s caliber in the country. He wrote, “I do not doubt that she will continue to churn out a long list of milestone discoveries. Her research on cell activity and structure in the brain will help keep the United States at the forefront of brain research.” This dossier also contained data on our client’s citation count and publication record, which at the time of filing stood at 77 and 5 respectively.

The immigration officers at TSC spent close to 11 months reviewing our client’s EB-2 NIW case. Our legal team raised a service request when the timeframe went beyond the average processing time. We are pleased that the USCIS ultimately granted their approval, and we wish our client well in her continued research in the United States.
