Case Summary:

A Staff Scientist from China working in the field of molecular biology was the distinguished client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the privilege of working with in this case. Her work had focused specifically on molecular biology of lung cancer, air pollution on lung injury, mechanisms and therapy for preterm birth and neonatal brain injury, and novel role of kallistatin in breast cancer, among other topics. Her research results had directly contributed to the progress of cancer research, primarily lung cancer and breast cancer, as well as to advancements in our understanding of and ability to treat PTSD, lung injury and the prevention of preterm delivery and neonatal brain damage. We demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. As supporting evidence in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of molecular biology, including at least 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and 2 conference abstracts. These publications had been cited at least 79 times at the time of case filing; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, clearly demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in her field. The influence of her work is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “There are very few investigators worldwide whose work is focused on elucidating mitochondrial signaling pathways with the finesse and innovation displayed by [her]. I truly believe that [she] is a valuable expert in mitochondrial-induced apoptosis pathways as she has made a number of tremendous research and medically important contributions in this field of research. She is continually recognized as an expert in the field and is viewed as such throughout the global research community.” Through the extensive documentation we provided, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Although the average processing time for I-140 petitions is 4-6 months, her NIW application was approved in just over 1 month.
