Success Stories: Thanks to NAILG and Our Client’s Excellent Credentials, NIW Status Confirmed in Just 1 Month for a Research Aide in Biotechnologies from Mexico

Client’s Testimonial:

“Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Thank you so much!!”

On January 28^th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Aide in the Field of Biotechnologies (Approval Notice).

General Field: Biotechnologies

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Aide

Country of Origin: Mexico

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas

Approval Notice Date: January 28^th, 2023

Processing Time: 1 month, 1 day

Case Summary:

A biotechnologies expert from Mexico approached us for her National Interest Waiver case. Armed with a Ph.D. in biochemical sciences, she had been working as a research aide at the time and her research aimed at applying genetic engineering techniques to develop genetic variants with improved characteristics for economically important crops such as cotton and sorghum.

We were quick to discover that her research is of great importance because it addresses major global challenges such as food insecurity and at the same time her research has been essential to identifying innovative techniques based on phosphate sensitivity to produce new crop variants with enhanced yields. This was why two of her 4 recommendations read:

“[The client] has made substantial contributions to the biotechnology field through her research on plant growth under low phosphate conditions. Her research provides valuable insights on how to utilize specific plant functions to respond to low phosphate conditions and develop new crop variants with yield-related traits for commercialization purposes.”

“[The client] is a biotechnologist with considerable experience in researching genetically modified plants. The work conducted in [the client’s] field is inherently beneficial to the United States since her research has practical applications for the creation of prospective new variants with multiple yield-related traits in crops with economic importance.”

Additionally, our team found that she has completed at least 8 reviews to date and her research has resulted in 9 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored). These publications have also been cited a total of 703 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biotechnologies.

On the other hand, we found that her study has been supported by funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute which further indicated how important her work in the field had been for the United States. Our team also made a note of how she has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor for 11 years already due to which she has established herself as a reliable expert in the field who can further the interests of the biotechnology industry and that of the U.S.

This is perhaps what won her the approval in just 1 month’s time. We are happy to have been able to help her and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
