Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in physics and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of biophysics. When he contacted our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we examined more into his degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating his credentials, we established that we would lead him to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.

We intended to prove that he is an essential researcher in his field of expertise; therefore, we added essential attributes to his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. We noted that:

• His work has been cited 276 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his chosen field.
• We also detailed his contributions to peer-reviewed conference articles, which resulted in 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (11 of them first-authored), 1 patent, 1 pre-print (first-authored), and 2 book chapters (both first-authored).
• He has completed at least 2 reviews to date.

Moreover, our client’s research related to developing innovative methodologies and artificial intelligence-based radiofrequency pulses to enhance NMR and MRI techniques has great substantial merit and national importance. Among other applications, his research is relevant to the development of precise biomolecular characterization and applications in drug discovery, structural biology, and low-cost medical imaging, as well as the advancement of drug discovery and pharmaceuticals in the United States.

Additionally, his work on magnetic resonance signal processing is unique in the field due to the development of TIDE, providing an efficient method for processing NMR data. Moreover, this work is aligned with his proposed endeavor and serves as further evidence of his success in biophysics to date.

To bolster our client’s case further, we added recommendation letters signed by two other expert scholars in the field, one of whom stated:

“[Client’s] research is vital for advancing medical imaging by improving the design and effectiveness of RF pulses used in magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy…It is clear that [client] stands at the top of his field, given his achievements in areas such as magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance. Ensuring the continuation of [client’s] work is thus deeply important to both biophysics research and to the nation.”

Furthermore, due to its clear national importance, our client’s research has been supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health. This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including studies that focus on understanding the characteristics and dynamics of living organisms and applying that knowledge to improving overall health, extending lifespans, and minimizing the occurrence of illness and disabilities.

Thus, our client’s education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that he is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.

We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in his field of expertise make him an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, he received his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval in 5 days only. Therefore, we thank him for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent his case and wish him very well as he continues to advance in his proposed field.
