Case Summary:

A research scientist in the biological sciences hired North America Immigration Law Group to assist her in submitting a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. Before deciding to move forward with her case, we thoroughly assessed her impressive credentials. We were certain that we could guide her to the national interest waiver triumph following the evaluation. Our team is proud to have been the first to customize I-140 petitions in a personalized manner, and this highly customized approach accounts for our acceptance record. Our job was to prove to the USCIS that our client’s efforts are relevant to advanced treatment interventions for neurological diseases and reducing side effects for patients.

Her NIW petition package contained the following facts, which were highlighted:

Her research elucidates the role of innate immune signaling and cell-type-specific and disease-state-specific pathway regulation in neurodegenerative diseases, thus enabling the development of next-generation diagnostics and therapeutics.
Her work advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it significantly advances the detection and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
In addition to these achievements, our client has published a number of influential papers in leading journals in the field. Her publication record, i.e. the 12 peer-reviewed journal articles that have appeared in no fewer than 7 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals, therefore affirms the fact that the quality of her findings has set her apart from her peers.
We also showed that she has not only successfully completed and published the results of her research in the field, but her findings have also gone on to influence her peers. That is, her publications have been cited a total of 3,242 times, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biomedical science.
Furthermore, 18 eminent organizations that only fund projects aimed at furthering the national interest have in fact funded our client’s research due to its evident national importance.

Overall, because her research lessens the consequences of neurological illnesses on patients and their families, it is very beneficial to the economy. In light of the expedited service’s short filing deadline, our client was able to submit her NIW petition in a matter of days. Our clients benefit greatly from the NIW premium processing service because of our high approval rate and speedy case submission. Five days after we filed her application, the USCIS sent the notification of approval. We really appreciate our client’s decision to work with us and her unwavering trust in us during the legal procedure. We hope for a bright future for our client.
