Case Summary:

In this case, a research associate from China engaged North America Immigration Law Group’s expert services to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client’s impressive professional accomplishments and doctoral degree enabled him to qualify for the national interest waiver.

Our comprehensive NIW petition packet contained evidence of our client’s impressive citation count (143 citations) and publication record (11 peer-reviewed journal articles and 2 book chapters). It was also composed of detailed summaries of our client’s research, most notably on genetic and molecular-level research on various forms of cancer. We demonstrated that our client’s work contributes to the United States’ medical research community and its efforts to ensure the advancement of national public health. Furthermore, we encouraged our client to gather recommendation letters from other influential researchers in his field of molecular biology. The four letters that he obtained were included in the petition packet submitted to the USCIS. One of these letters stated, “[Client] is using his considerable talents to offer new and incredibly useful information about how cancer begins and spreads. It is critical that his work be allowed to continue without interruption or delay by awarding him permanent residence in the United States.”

We are pleased to note that our efforts have lent a hand in the approval of this EB-2 NIW case, and we wish our client all the best in progressing his field of molecular biology.
