Case Summary:

A client from Vietnam with a Ph.D. in natural sciences in biological sciences approached us to help him file the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition; we, therefore, employed our team of experts to build a convincing case for him. We included details from his professional and academic career in his petition packet to support his claim to the NIW category.

We showcased that along with his academic qualifications:

He was also actively engaged in the field of cancer biology as a Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate.

And that his proposed endeavor of introducing, evaluating, and refining innovative precision therapies to improve the treatment of leukemia and other blood cancers has both substantial merit and national importance.

Furthermore, due to its evident national importance, the client’s research has been supported with funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program.

On the other hand, we highlighted that his academic performance has been responsible for several publications, and citations:

His research has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored).
His publications have been cited 210 times according to Google Scholar.
He has been invited to conduct peer review for at least 8 times.

Based on this multifactorial assessment, it is clear that the client’s education, experience, expertise, documented record of success, influence in his field, and plan have altogether well-positioned him in his field of expertise.

We are thus very proud that our client got his NIW approval despite waiting for a long time. It has been an amazing journey with him. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
