Case Summary:

“[Client’s] unique research is vital to a country like the United States, where reliable predictive cancer techniques are absolutely necessary to help protect the lives of its citizens.”

This firm statement was made by an expert in the field of cancer epidemiology who contributed a recommendation letter in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. This letter, and several others that we obtained from other experts, was included in the thorough petition packet that North America Immigration Law Group submitted to the USCIS.

In preparing the petition, we incorporated information on our client’s doctoral degree, her ability to serve the field better than other researchers with similar qualifications, and evidence that her translational epidemiology studies that investigate individual cancer risks contribute to the United States’ ability to discover new drug targets for cancer treatments. We also included data on our client’s 16 published papers and 113 citations to her work.

Our client, who is a research investigator from China, chose our law firm to represent her case because she knew that we are fully dedicated to helping every client get one step closer to permanent residency. In this NIW case, the USCIS only took a month and 24 days to grant their approval. We congratulate our client and wish her the best in her continued investigations.
