Case Summary:

An expert in the field of bioinformatics from China wanted our help to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition in March 2021. Having over 25,000 case approvals we did not take much time to decide the best way forward. Our team got together for the case and quickly found out that his proposed endeavor is to build on his expertise with data integration, and optimal drug combination prediction to identify disease biomarkers and develop optimal treatment strategies in order to cure neurodevelopmental conditions.

Due to its clear national importance, his research had in fact been supported with funding from 5 different institutions namely, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the National Science Foundation, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, the Huffington Foundation, and the Robert A. and Renee E. Belfer Family Foundation.

On the other hand, he had also continuously published his research in the form of 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (five of them first- or co-first-authored), thus showing that he would continue working in the same area of interest. We were able to add that he has published papers in no fewer than six highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.

At the same time, these publications have been cited a total of 609 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of bioinformatics.

Our team was able to discover that he had completed 3 reviews for peer-reviewed journals in his area of expertise. Given that only well-known and highly qualified researchers are invited for this task, our client clearly qualified as such.

At the same time, he was also able to obtain 2 letters of support from peers and senior experts in his field, showing confidence in his research work and its use in the United States of America.

All of these combined to make a solid case in his favor convincing the adjudicating authorities to rule in his favor. We are glad to have been a part of this process and we wish him the very best.
