Case Summary:

A gifted Ph.D. student working in the field of biochemistry hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him attain a green card. Our client, who obtained an M.S. and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, knew of our excellent services and impressive approval rates and wanted to give himself the best chance at becoming an american permanent resident. He is currently pursuing his second Ph.D. in biochemistry which clearly highlights the expertise of our client.

Our client’s extensive experiences researching on the development of efficient systems for the formation of biologically active compounds, made him a suitable candidate for the national interest waiver. In preparing his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we gathered a wealth of information on his accomplishments and worked diligently to put together a coherent and persuasive petition dossier. Here are some of the things we focused on:

Significance of his research: After carefully reviewing his fieldwork, we determined that our client’s research brings about numerous benefits to the United States. For instance, his research in the area of biochemistry is of great importance because it is eminently relevant to the vital intersection of global health and environmental interests. Additionally, by producing more environmentally-benign methods of generating the biologically-active compounds necessary for pharmaceutical development, our client has directly addressed this pressing environmental and public health issue.

His professional accolades: Our client’s position as a leader in the field was demonstrated through the 101 citations obtained from his 7 peer-reviewed journal articles.

Support from his peers: We verified the importance of our client’s research to the field as well as to the U.S. by integrating recommendation letters into his petition dossier. These four letters were furnished by other experts in the field, all of whom gladly agreed to lend their support towards our client’s EB-2 NIW petition.

Besides the service request that we raised on our client’s behalf after the case went beyond the average processing time, everything about our client’s EB-2 NIW case was smooth sailing. We congratulate him on this milestone, and wish him the best with his I-485 applications. Seeing that the I-485 application is the final leg of the green card journey, an approval means finally obtaining a green card.
