Case Summary:

“There are very few individuals who have achieved what [Client] has in her academic and professional career. I hope I have sufficiently conveyed the degree to which she is an irreplaceable element of the United States’ medical domain.”

This statement was made by a specialist working in the field of molecular biology. It is taken from a letter that he contributed in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. This letter, along with several others that our client obtained, was incorporated into the meticulously planned EB-2 NIW presentation that North America Immigration Law Group prepared and submitted to the USCIS.

Our petition packet was comprised of a copy of our client’s Ph.D. in Biology and her transcripts, the 40 citations that her 8 publications had garnered, and detailed accounts of her research on molecular mechanisms behind hypertension-induced vascular stress, mRNA stabilization for the reduction of cardiovascular disease, and the suppression of CD248 in the prevention of cancer. We used this information to demonstrate the value of our client’s work to the United States, specifically to the country’s medical, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries.

Our client, a postdoctoral research fellow from India, is currently waiting for her priority date to become current before filing her I-485 application, the final leg in the complicated green card journey. We wish her the very best.
