Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Hematology/Oncology Fellow in just 2 months

On July 12th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Hematology/Oncology Fellow in the field of Oncology (Approval Notice)

General Field: Oncology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Hematology/Oncology Fellow
Country of Origin: Kuwait
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Minnestota
Approval Notice Date: July 12, 2013
Processing Time: 2 months

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a hematology/oncology fellow from Kuwait working in the field of oncology. His work had focused specifically on the understanding of and improving care for elderly geriatric patients, as well as research into the effectiveness of second autologous stem cell transplantation for the treatment of multiple myeloma. This client wished to continue employment in the field of oncology. 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 oncology, including at least 23 peer-reviewed journal articles (8 of them first-authored), and numerous conference papers. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Not simply his patients, but the United States as a whole stands to benefit greatly from [client’s] ability to continue his research and affiliation with the [employer]. You may not be aware of the fact that we are facing a dearth of talented oncologists (let alone oncologists with an effective understanding of palliative care), but as the population ages and as medical science continues to devise more effective means of treating cancer, our hospitals will be increasingly short-staffed. Retaining physicians of the caliber of [client] will lead to improved care, stronger research, and a healthier population.” 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 just 2 months.
