Case Summary:

“His steady record of success is evidence enough that his research will continue to be of sublime value in the future, especially as the applications of his work in the medical community continue to be needed […] his work will continue to improve the lives of Americans and yield great innovations for the bioengineering and medical imaging industry.”

This vote of confidence was supplied by an expert biomedical engineer in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Five other experts contributed their support, and we included their testimonials in our NIW petition packet. Our client, a scientist from Iran, is developing new methods and technologies for tissue engineering and medical imaging. His establishment of a new methodology using magnetic nanoparticles to better treat and diagnose cancer impacts the health of Americans. Our legal team also proved that our client’s work contributes to the United States clinical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nanotechnology industries, and that not many other scientists who share his background can attain the same level of success.

Our well-balanced NIW petition packet was also comprised of information on our client’s many research projects, his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, his 10 published papers, the 21 citations to his work, and his patents. We are pleased that our diligent efforts lent a hand in the rapid adjudication of our client’s NIW case, and we wish him all the best with his I-485 application (the final step in the green card process).
