Case Summary:

A research associate in the field of plant science approached North America Immigration Law Group with a proposed endeavor to elucidate how plants respond to biotic and abiotic environments and develop high-yielding crop cultivars resistant to disease and tolerant to drought in order to reduce the risk of food shortages and insecurity. Among other researchers, his research is relevant to mitigating risks of food shortages and insecurity, fortifying crops against climate-related challenges, fostering economic growth, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions through policy initiatives.

Furthermore, we noted that our client’s work in plant breeding and genetics provides a lifeline as agricultural yields are threatened by climate change, particularly in the world’s most food-insecure regions. This ensures that agriculture will continue to be a reliable engine of growth, the eradication of poverty, and global food security. As a result, the work of our client represents a substantial advancement in the quest for a future for our world’s food supply that is both safe and robust. This made it easier for us to prove that his study was beneficial to the United States. We strategized our response to his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition in light of this.

We proceeded to acquire comprehensive details regarding his educational and occupational history. We made sure that his needs and the NIW standards established by USCIS were understood. Our extensive industry experience has assisted over 32,000 clients in getting positive results in their cases. Therefore, to help this client’s case succeed as well, we included a couple of the following components to his customized NIW petition package.

We highlighted that he has obtained a Ph.D. in plant science and his research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (all of them first-authored) and 6 abstracts (3 of them first-authored). In addition to this, his publications have been cited a total of 28 times thereby confirming that his publications are widely acknowledged and reckoned upon in the field of plant science.

Moreover, his study has been supported by funding from the NIFA. The NIFA funds projects that promote research that addresses critical challenges in disciplines related to agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural development, to promote sustainable practices, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and innovation in the agricultural sector. This support of his research therefore serves as evidence that his work on enhancing water use efficiency in alfalfa is crucial for the agricultural sector because it focuses on a vital forage crop.

After conducting a thorough evaluation, we have concluded that our client’s education, professional experience, expertise, proven track record, influence in his field, and proposed plan make him very well-suited to pursue his intended endeavor. Our team’s excellent case preparation strategy, combined with these impressive qualifications, helped our client secure his NIW (National Interest Waiver) application in just six days, thanks to USCIS’s PP service upgrade. We are grateful for our client’s courteous cooperation throughout the adjudication process and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
