Case Summary:

The distinguished client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Doctoral Candidate from Taiwan working in the field of biomedicine. His work had focused specifically on the development of new technologies that benefit biomedical neuroscience research. As a biomedical researcher, he had created an MRI analysis tool and an original diffusion MRI reconstruction technique, both of which are widely used in neuroscience research around the world. We demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of biomedicine, including at least 16 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 patents, and numerous national and international conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 194 times at the time of case filing, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biomedicine. An international expert in this field confirmed the immense value of our client’s biomedicine research, “[His] research contributions have important applications for many aspects of neurological research; for example, autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury, and even in basic research of brain structure.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in just under 2 months, well short of the average processing time of 4-6 months for I-140s.
