Case Summary:

Our client, an Indian postdoctoral associate who holds a Ph.D. in health sciences, hired the North American Immigration Law Group to assist in preparing her EB-2 NIW petition. Based on our background check, we found that she was researching viral pathogenesis and host-virus interactions to unravel the intricate mechanisms of viral replication, transmission, and pathogenesis to design vaccines, antiviral drugs, and diagnostic tools that combat viral threats. We concluded that she would have a strong case to argue, and began to draft her customized petition package, with the following details:

Our client has a publishing record of 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), with her papers published in 3 highly-ranked journals.
Her work has also been highly influential in her given field, with a total of 326 citations at the time of her petition, moreover, several of her papers are among the most highly cited in their given fields, during their year of publication.
Her work is also of national importance, as it is vital to the health and well-being of Americans, providing new insights into further treatment, diagnostics, and vaccine development for infectious viruses. Her continued work in the biotechnology field is vital to mitigating pandemics and viral outbreaks, ensuring the safety of the American populace.
In addition, her work has been supported by the Department of Biotechnology, showing that her work is important enough to receive the support of the government.
We found that she had also received 2 different letters of recommendation from various experts worldwide, one of whom said:

“I am delighted to endorse [Client], an esteemed researcher in the biotechnology field. [Client]’s success is a result of her exceptional and diverse skill set, which includes expertise in cell culturing, virus propagation, immunostaining, siRNA screening, and drug treatment. Her invaluable skills make her an indispensable asset to prestigious research institutions like the [University], where she currently works. Any interruption to her research at such a reputable institution would jeopardize its reputation and the quality of its scientific endeavors.”

Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case. With the help of the USCIS’s premium processing service, we secured approval for her NIW petition in a matter of 5 days. We wish our client continued success in her future endeavors and are grateful for her faith in our firm.
