Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Scientist in the Field of Biophotonics in the State of North Carolina

Client’s Testimonial:

I have applied for the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) in 2013 after a disastrous experience with another group. NAILG was professional, courteous, quick, and delivering what was promised in the best way. The information package provided was very helpful, communication with them quick and fruitful. Their website with the cases reviewed was already a wonderful source of information… I highly recommend them especially for their guaranteed service.

Case Summary:

For this EB-2 NIW case, we worked closely with a Scientist in the field of Biophotonics. In his research endeavors, our client has developed novel optical imaging methods that have wide utility in diagnostics and neuroscience. Our client has successfully improved the capacity to diagnose and treat an array of neurological disorders, thereby raising the standard of patient care and health outcomes. The importance of his work to the national interest was endorsed by an independent recommender, who stated, “More recently, [Client] has focused on the microscopy of endogenous fluorescent compounds—autofluorescence imaging… Using a number of advanced imaging techniques…[Client] made an important discovery, showing that autofluorescence imaging can distinguish apoptosis from necrosis in live cells. This is crucial knowledge because it can be utilized to optimize dosimetry of some cancer treatments… Optimizing the drug dosage for maximal apoptotic response through [Client’s] discovery may limit inflammatory reaction and increase the given therapy efficiency. His trailblazing results open a wide range of applications.” His cutting-edge research has culminated in 11 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of his field. These publications have been cited 170 times by independent researchers worldwide, and the demand for his research has resulted in numerous invitations to present his work at highly distinguished international conferences, demonstrating the global significance of his contributions. With the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, we were able to prove that our client’s technological advancements and continued research have substantial merits for our country and the scientific community as a whole, thus he has served the nation to a significantly greater degree than that of others with similar education and experience.
