General Field: Biology

Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. degree in Biology of host-pathogen interaction, a postdoctoral fellow from Brazil contacted North America Immigration Law Group to help her in filing an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Our unrivaled knowledge in preparing for the NIW case (currently more than 18,000 approvals) impressed our client and standing by our suggestion, she provided us with all the required paperwork to be sent to the USCIS. Assessing the potential of her research for the benefit of the United States of America, we concluded that not only would it help mitigate but also control the havoc wrecked by some of the most common diseases like syphilis, Lyme’s disease, and babesiosis on the American soil as well as the world at large.

We were able to confirm her expertise and the value of her ongoing research in the field of biology because of what experts in the field had to say about it.

“[The client’s] research is even more important when one takes into consideration her ultimate objective of developing optimized diagnostics and treatments for some of the world’s most common and dangerous infectious diseases.”

“[The client’s] insights into malarial transmission and immune response help ensure that malaria does not return to the endemic levels it once reached in the United States. Her research also advances global public health and American soft power through helping American governmental programs which have saved nearly 7.6 million lives and prevented more than 1.5 billion malaria cases around the world since 2000.”

Thus, based on our research we were able to personalize her I-140 NIW petition by adding:

We highlighted that she has 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored and 1 of them co-first-authored). Moreover, these papers have been published in the top journals in her field, reflecting her peers’ recognition of the value of this research. The client has published papers in no fewer than 4 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.
In addition, we observed that her publications have been cited a total of 121 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biology.
Furthermore, her study has been supported by funding from FAPESP, CNPq, INBEQMeDI, and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). These organizations fund projects that promote scientific and technological research for the fulfillment of the national interests of Brazil and the United Kingdom, and that enhance each country’s international scientific and technological capabilities and prestige.

Therefore, the USCIS thoroughly adjudicated our client’s case, and she successfully received her NIW approval. We are delighted and sincerely thank her for trusting our law firm with her I-140 NIW case preparation. Also, we wish her well as she pursues her desired project here in the United States.
