Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for your help. We will definitely recommend your firm. A friend of ours recommended your firm to us two years ago, that's why we decided to work with you. We have had a very positive experience working with you on this case. Thanks a lot.”
On January 29th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Specialist I in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Molecular Biology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Specialist I
Country of Origin: Uzbekistan
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Washington
Processing Time: 7 months, 17 days
Case Summary:
Not long ago, North America Immigration Law Group filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on behalf of a research specialist from Uzbekistan. Our client’s molecular biology research focuses on chaperonin-assisted protein folding, directed evolution of proteins, and enzyme design. In our carefully crafted NIW petition dossier, we established that his work offers other scientists important insights regarding protein folding and antibiotic resistance, in turn greatly benefitting the drug development sector in the United States.
Our client’s Ph.D. in Structural Biology, his 151 citations, and his 9 published scientific papers made him a suitable candidate for EB2-NIW. To further fortify our client’s case, we helped him connect with other influential molecular biologists for testimonials. One of these experts stated that “[Client’s] work in protein engineering is revolutionary and contributes to our understanding of the applications of protein creation in pharmaceuticals and other industries. Because of the specialized nature of the field, [Client’s] expertise in directed evolution and the computational design of proteins distinguishes him from his peers.” This and three other recommendation letters we included in the petition helped prove to the USCIS that only a scant handful of scientists with similar qualifications can produce research results of the same merit.
Our client’s I-140 was approved by the USCIS less than eight months after we filed it. We congratulate him on this milestone and wish him well.
