Case Summary:

A research associate holding a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences approached North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to file an effective petition on his behalf under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. Before starting with a client-attorney agreement, we evaluated his provided credentials to determine his NIW’s success. After a complete review of his research on computational analyses of social and physical dynamics, we deduced that his case must be taken forward considering his research’s relevance to the progress of statistical physics and the development of the nuclear power industry.

A few attributes, we listed in his petition packet are mentioned below:

• Publication Record: his research has resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored).
• Citation Record: an impressive record of obtaining 69 citations.
• Funding Support: his study on the antioxidant effect of Moroccan pomegranate has been recognized and supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
• Importance of his work: his work represents progress toward his larger goal of advancing research on the molecular and genetic mechanisms of oxidative stress-related diseases such as esophageal adenocarcinoma.
• In addition to the details as mentioned above, we also incorporated the four recommendation letters that our client accommodated from fellow experts in his field of expertise. One out of those has the following to say about our client:

“[Client’s] comprehensive review work, suggests a major role for smoking-induced ROS and the resultant oxidative stress in inflammation and carcinogenesis. [Client] is a biomedical scientist whose research on the underlying causes and risk factors that promote cancer has had a significant impact. As a result, [client’s] attempts to continue his essential studies are undeniably deserving of support.”

Thus, as the documentary evidence and corroborating testimony from experts in the field establish, our client is a member of the profession holding an advanced degree. His education, experience, and expertise in his field, the significance of his contributions, and his record of success position him well to continue to advance his proposed endeavor of determining the molecular and genetic mechanisms of smoking and the genesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma to reduce its incidence and improve its treatability.

We are delighted that our team was finally fortunate enough in persuading USCIS of the importance of our client’s research in the United States and thus he achieved his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case approval. His I-485 application is also currently active. We would sincerely like to thank him for choosing our law firm and congratulate him for getting a grip on this expansive process and accomplishing this breakthrough.
