Case Summary:

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the field of biomedical engineering from Nepal hired us to help her file an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Successful NIW applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are either in possession of an advanced degree, or that they have an exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. In addition, they must also demonstrate that their proposed endeavor has substantial merit and is of national importance, that they are well-positioned to advance that endeavor, and that it would be beneficial enough to the United States to waive the requirement of a labor certification.

After a thorough review of our client’s credentials, we discovered that our client is researching to develop and enhance three-dimensional models of tumors, using cells from individual patients to construct patient-specific three-dimensional models for drug effectiveness testing to advance personalized cancer treatment. This research would be of great importance to the health of the American people, and thus we concluded that the client would have a strong case to argue for NIW approval. The following details were incorporated into her customized petition package:

Our client possesses a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, thus demonstrating the possession of an advanced degree. In addition, she has 14 publications to her name, with 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 4 of which were first-authored, and 6 first-authored conference abstracts.
In addition, her work has also been published in 2 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals, and her work has also been cited a total of 36 times. This demonstrates that her publications are widely recognized, and relied upon in the field of biomedical engineering. Moreover, at least 2 of her papers are among the most highly cited in their respective fields and years of publication.
Due to her great knowledge within the highly specialized field of biomedical engineering, it would greatly benefit the United States to approve her petition, as the advancement of her research endeavor would allow the American medical industry to develop novel cancer treatments individualized to the patient’s needs.

To summarize, given the unique set of knowledge and skills that our client could bring to the United States, she was able to successfully petition for NIW approval, in addition to the help we received from USCIS’s premium processing service. We are thankful for the trust she has put in our firm, and we hope that she succeeds in all her future endeavors.
