Case Summary:

A postdoctoral fellow from Japan engaged the services of North America Immigration Law Group to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Her Ph.D. in Cardiology and years of involvement in the field have allowed her to apply for permanent residency under this visa category.

Our client’s work in the field of cardiology has led to her publication of 12 journal articles and the collection of 271 citations to her work. Further evidence of the significance of her work are manifested through words of support from other experts in her field. Several of these experts contributed recommendation letters to fortify our client’s EB-2 NIW case, one of whom wrote, “While prevention of cancer is crucial, research that deepens our knowledge about the ways to combat the negative effects of medicine used to treat cancer is absolutely critical. We need new ways of understanding treatment and novel therapies. [Client] is one of the people leading the way on this matter and progress in U.S. medical treatments would suffer without her.” As part of our legal procedure, we firmly established the importance of our client’s work to the field of cardiology as well as to the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries in the United States.

The USCIS spent 7 months and 18 days adjudicating this case. We are pleased at the outcome and wish our client the very best with her continued research in the field of cardiology.
