Case Summary:

A prominent research associate from China hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file two I-140 petitions on his behalf: an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). The reason our client opted to file two petitions is because it increased his chances of obtaining a petition approval. To our delight, both our client’s petitions were approved, propelling him significantly closer to a green card. Although EB-2 NIW and EB-1A are visa categories with considerably different requirements, some key points overlapped. Here is some of the information that we included in both petition packets:

Recommendation Letters: We urged our client to obtain recommendation letters from other experts working in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. Because both petitions were filed less than a year apart, we used the same six letters to strengthen both petitions. This is what one of our client’s recommenders had to say about him and his work: “Ovarian cancer affects upwards of 12,000 Americans each year and incurs significant healthcare costs. Furthermore, the cure rate for the disease is particularly low, in part because of its relatively complex nature when compared to other forms of cancer. As a result, many of the individuals diagnosed with the disease are not able to receive any form of effective treatment after their diagnosis. It is necessary for researchers to continue uncovering information relating to this disease, as [Client] has done in his research initiatives. This directly supports those who have suffered the negative consequences of ovarian cancer.”
Professional Achievements: At the time of filing, our client had published 15 scientific articles and 19 conference abstracts. Furthermore, his work had collected 126 citations and he had conducted 60 peer reviews for a variety of scientific journals.
Research Details: Perhaps one of the most important elements of both petition packets involved our client’s work in the field. His investigations on gynecological cancers as well as various diseases affecting maternal-fetal health are essential to the American medical sector.

We are pleased that our diligent efforts paved the way for not one, but two, petition approvals. We congratulate our client for overcoming the first hurdle in the lengthy green card process, and we wish him the best as he files I-485 applications for himself and his spouse to adjust their status for permanent residence.
