Case Summary:

With 74 citations to his 3 published papers, a doctorate in biochemistry, and extensive experience carrying out research on lipid metabolism, our client—a postdoctoral researcher from Japan—qualifies for the national interest waiver. Despite his strong credentials, he needed North America Immigration Law Group’s help to refine his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition.

As part of our services, we demonstrated that his findings improve disease treatment in the United States, and that they enrich the cellular understanding of how neurological diseases progress. We also established that only a scant handful of biochemists can accomplish what our client has. To further fortify our EB-2 NIW petition, we advised our client to gather recommendation letters from other influential researchers in his field of lipid biochemistry. He obtained five letters which we incorporated into our petition packet. One of our client’s recommenders had this to say about him: “[Client’s] continued work is critical for the advancement of treatment options for some of the most debilitating human diseases in this day and age, such as Alzheimer’s, coronary artery disease, and stroke […] since his ongoing research is dedicated to solving problems related to lipid failure and thus provide treatment for afflicted patients.”

We are pleased that our diligent efforts helped our client get his I-140 (first step in the green card process) petition approved. We wish him all the best with the second and final step: the I-485 application
