Success Story: NIW approval for Post Doc without ANY independent reference letters

Client’s Testimonial:

This is the news I have been awaiting for long time. PS, instruct me for future I485 and future processing steps. I highly appreciate your kind help and taking interest in my case and helping me to succeed. Thank you so so much, Cheers!

On June 19th, 2012 we received another NIW approval for a client without independent reference letters. (Approval Notice)

Case Summary:

This client has a decent citation number and most of our clients with similar credentials were able to have their cases approved. The challenge the case imposed was that the client was not able to find any independent references. And therefore all the reference letters we submitted were from the same school/area of the clients.

Considering this challenge it was necessary to establish in the petition letter significant evidence highlighting the importance of the work performed by this client.

In the petition letter, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates displayed the client’s research influence based on comparing the clients’ work with others in the same field. Beyond citations, this evidence depicted the impressive level of influence that could be attributed to this client’s research based on its position associated with other works.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates was able to secure approval for this petition on June 19th, 2012.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
