General Field: Chemistry

Case Summary:

An Iranian Ph.D. Candidate in the field of chemistry reached out to North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Thanks to our experience of securing over 16,000 I-140 approvals, we determined that she was a good fit for this category after reviewing her CV and credentials. We worked with our client carefully and presented her various achievements to the USCIS in a clear and concise manner.

As an expert in the field of chemistry, our client’s research focuses on the application of machine learning techniques to biochemical investigations. Her research in this field is of great importance because it assists the global medical field in addressing the burden of cancer. Her efforts on this topic facilitate progress on novel medical research and the formation of drugs geared toward addressing BK channel dysfunction, as well. Our client also designed a chemical sensor that accurately identifies cancer cells in mere minutes.

Apart from the research in the field, our client has also published 23 peer-reviewed journal articles that collected 577 citations; thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of chemistry. We incorporated the related material into her petition letter, and provided in-depth analysis to show the merit of our client’s endeavor.

We also helped our client select a handful of suitable recommenders to further support the petition. One of the 4 recommendation letters describe our client and her research with the following excerpt: “Through her work in making refined biocompatible nanoparticle structures, [Client’s] research definitively aligns with this mission. The loss of her presence from the field of chemistry would prove to be a detriment to her area of science and the national initiative toward improvements in biomedical nanotechnology.”

With the relevant proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 6 months and 26 days. We thank our client for giving us the honor to be part of her success and wish her all the best as she carries out impressive research in the United States.
