Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group was hired by an Indian bioinformatics analyst II to prepare a strong EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client, a Ph.D. holder, provided copies of his transcripts, diploma, and degree certificate as proof of his qualifications. After thoroughly reviewing his academic credentials, we confirmed that he is therefore eligible to work in the professions for which he has an advanced degree.

As an expert in the field of biological sciences, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on utilizing advanced computing and bioinformatic techniques to process and analyze multi-omics data to further current understandings of genetic mutations and their effect on the underlying biology of the organism for applications in biomedical sciences, cancer research, biodiversity conservation, environmental sciences, and agricultural sciences.

Additionally, we established that his work holds substantial merit, as it not only advances our understanding of biological processes but also has far-reaching implications for both human health and environmental conservation.

Our client has made significant contributions to his field, having published 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (including 5 first-authored papers) and 2 preprints in at least 6 highly ranked journals. At the time of filing, his work was cited a total of 425 times according to Google Scholar.

Furthermore, we specified that he has been frequently approached to provide peer reviews for reputable journals in the industry because of his knowledge and proficiency. To date, he has conducted at least 27 reviews.

Due to its clear national importance, his research has been supported by various funds. Some of these are the State Wildlife Grants Program, administered jointly by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA), and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Moreover, our client has received 2 recommendation letters from fellow experts, affirming that his strong research record has positioned him well to continue advancing his proposed endeavor.

With all these factors in place, we are pleased to share that his NIW petition was approved just 5 months and 6 days after submission, following an upgrade to premium processing. We sincerely appreciate his cooperation throughout the process and for allowing us to be part of this remarkable success story. We wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.
