Case Summary:

The North America Immigration Law Group had been contacted by an influential figure in the field of microbiology to assist him in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition on his behalf. Our experienced team first began by analyzing his background, finding that he had a Ph.D. in Science, majoring in applied life science. This means he fulfills the requirement of having an advanced degree. We also found that our client was working on developing culture-based and molecular-based microbiological techniques to discover novel microorganisms, their compounds, and enzymes for industrial applications and antimicrobial potential investigation of plant natural products. Besides the aforementioned points, the other details we included in his personalized petition package are as follows:

Our client has been an active contributor to academia, with a total of 29 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 1 published patent under his publishing record. This shows that he has been highly involved in research and the pursuit of new knowledge and techniques.
In addition, his work has also been influential amongst his peers, with a total of 345 citations at the time of his petition, with at least 7 of his papers being among the most highly cited in their field, within their year of publication.
The importance of his research is undeniable, with his work in microbiology working to fight back the threat of antimicrobial resistance, which the CDC, among various other health organizations, has considered to be a critical issue with global implications for the health of billions. Not only that, but the development of biomanufacturing and bioprocessing technologies allows for the sustainable production of industrially important compounds. Reducing reliance on chemical pesticides contributes to improving agricultural practices and is beneficial for human health, as pesticides have been linked to a myriad of health conditions and diseases.
Our client had also previously received support from Korea’s Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MEST) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) to fund his research, showing the value of his work as it was able to secure highly-selective funding from these organizations.
We found that he had also received 2 different letters of recommendation from various experts, one of whom said:

“As a talented researcher in the field of microbiology devoting his attention to the discovery and optimization of plant-based compounds with health and environmental benefits, [Client] is performing work of tremendous value. His research accomplishments and publication record both testify to his place at the top of his field, and I support his continued research without reservation.”

Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case and won approval for his petition. With the help of the USCIS’s premium processing service, the waiting period before receiving approval was just a mere 5 days. We wish our client continued success in his future endeavors and are grateful for his faith in our firm.
