Case Summary:

A research scientist engineer working in the field of biochemistry hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an I-140 petition under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. Exactly six months and a week after filing, the USCIS approved her case. Now, our client is more than halfway through the green card process.

Building a Strong NIW Petition:

As skilled as our team is at preparing strong petitions, we are constantly aware that each individual case is different. There is no denying that meticulous attention to details must be paid to every presentation. We offered our client top quality counsel and did everything we could to put together a strong EB-2 NIW case. Here is what our petition contained:

Professional Credentials:Our client’s doctoral degree in biological sciences proved that she possessed the knowledge and skills required to carry out high quality research on the molecular properties of enzymes in different biological systems in the complex field of biochemistry.
Scholarly Evidence: We demonstrated the significance of her research by highlighting the 250 citations to her work, her 10 peer-reviewed journal publications, and the 1 time she conducted peer reviews for high impact international journals.
Research Results: Her work has significantly contributed to a biologically-based path to a ready source of energy in the form of ethanol and other biofuels. Our client’s invaluable expertise has laid the groundwork for increased ethanol production by demonstrating new methods of enzymatically manipulating bacteria to act as more efficient ethanol producers.
Recommendations: Favorable third party opinions paved the way for case approval. In recognition of the value and importance of her work, we incorporated four recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the scientific community. One of these experts stated that:“Her contributions in this represent important extensions of the frontiers of understanding that have practical application for developing and expanding sustainable biofuel production in the United States.”

Adjustment of Status (I-485):
As our client currently resides in the US, she will embark on the final leg of the green card journey by filing an I-485 application. We thank her for also retaining our firm’s I-485 services for her and her spouse. We look forward to assisting them in achieving their green card success.
