Case Summary:

An associate scientist from Egypt filed an I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition, and we were engaged to represent her. In order to support the development of targeted therapies for conditions involving aberrant immune responses, such as autoimmune diseases and allergies, the client’s work involved examining the signaling pathways involved in platelets and immune cells in response to stimulation. Her work is relevant to leveraging the body’s host defense mechanisms to combat antimicrobial resistance in infectious diseases and to mitigate the economic impact of autoimmune diseases and allergies on the United States economy.

A part of our job was demonstrating that our client is a member of the advanced degree-holding professions due to her accomplishments, which include a Ph.D. in basic medical research. Furthermore, her continued research is essential to sustaining and growing US technical leadership. So, in order to help her win the NIW, we began by gathering all the relevant information into a compelling petition bundle. We packed her petition package with the following items:

We highlighted that her research is of great importance because it has broader implications for addressing the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Sustainable Development Goals regarding infectious diseases and combatting antimicrobial resistance, which the WHO has identified as a top threat to global health and development.
We also emphasized her outstanding record and important contributions to the field. Fourteen peer-reviewed journal publications that resulted from her study have been published in some of the top journals in her field. Her 119 published work citations demonstrate the significant influence she has on other scholars’ comprehension of the topics she has researched.
She has also been asked to perform peer reviews for a reputable publication in the biomedical sciences because of her knowledge and proficiency in the subject; to date, she has conducted 15 reviews. It is evident from this that others regard her as an authority in the field and a subject matter expert in areas linked to her proposed endeavor.
Furthermore, her study has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the National Institutes of Health. Therefore, this funding support proves that her research is committed to responding to public health threats by increasing the breadth and depth of knowledge in areas concerning infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.

We are happy to announce that the work of our client to safeguard public health and the global economy, increased understanding of the mechanisms behind B-cells and platelets—which are essential for both innate and adaptive immune responses—is therefore imperative. Her NIW petition was approved by USCIS within 6 days of our filing it, with noting her leadership, experience, and subject-matter expertise as reasons for her extraordinary qualification for the role. We truly value our client’s support during this process and send our best wishes for her future undertakings.
