Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a project scientist from Iran working in the field of computational neuroscience and is an expert in control applications in neuroscience and Deep Brain Stimulation. This client wished to seek employment in the field of computational neuroscience. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of computational neuroscience, including at least 5 published peer-reviewed articles, all in leading field journals, and eight peer reviewed conference proceedings. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “More than any other single piece of work, this most recent development elevates [client] from just another brilliant scientist who applies for permanent residency, to someone who constitutes a Unique Resource to the United States. To my knowledge, there are no other people on earth who have the capabilities of [client], and certainly none in the US.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in five and a half months.
