Service Center: Nebraska
Processing Time: 130 days

Case Summary:

Another successful petition by Chen Immigration Law Associates for a Research Scientist in 130 days, less than average time for Nebraska Service center which averages 6 months in approvals. Because this candidate was filing an EB2 NIW (National Interest Waiver Petition), it was crucial to gather extensive evidence in order to prove that the candidates work was within the best interest of the Nation.

In order to accomplish this feat, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates developed a unique strategy to showcase the candidate’s contributions and work in the field of Physical Science exemplifying the significant impact to the field as a whole as well as to the country at large.

Our candidate’s primary work was in water purification and catalyst reactions both of which are extremely important to our health as a nation, but to prove her unique abilities it was vital that we sought experts in the field who could verify the merit and national scope of her work. In order to accomplish this, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted in the drafting of six letters of recommendation, 3 of which were independent experts who did not personally know our candidate but reviewed, edited and signed the strategically drafted recommendation letters.

Furthermore, to document the influence of our candidate’s research in the field of Physical Science, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched and cited AAO rulings that were applicable to this case which provided the necessary evidentiary support to get approval and ruling in favor of our candidate. This was especially important to this case where the candidate had only 50 citations. With an understanding of how important citation counts are to many petitions filed by postdoctoral researchers, it is imperative that new and unique methods are utilized to emphasize the expertise associated with the client’s work. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates completed this by referencing AAO rulings that substantiated the credentials of our client.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on January 26, 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
