“Thanks for the great news!”
On February 3rd, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Assistant Project Scientist in the Field of Bioengineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Bioengineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Project Scientist
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Processing Time: 3 months, 6 days
Case Summary:
Not long ago, North America Immigration Law Group helped an assistant project scientist obtain her green card. Our client, who works in the field of bioengineering, retained our firm to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and I-485 for her. She chose to file her I-485 while her I-140 was pending (I-140 is the first step in the green card process and I-485 is the second step). Less than two months after she received approval of her I-140, her I-485 approval followed suit.
Our client’s extensive experience developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for the screening and treatment of cancer, the 340 citations to her dozen publications, and her doctorate in chemistry obtained from her home country of Taiwan made her a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW. Our legal team worked diligently to establish the importance of our client’s research to the United States, and to prove that not many others who share her background can attain the level of success that she has. To support our EB-2 NIW petition, we helped our client select potential candidates who could contribute strong recommendation letters. Our client managed to obtain four testimonials from experts in her field, and we included these letters in our petition packet. One of these letters stated, “… I find it of vital importance that she be permitted to continue working in her field in the United States. If she is unable to do so, I am certain that, with the absence of her contributions, the pace of advancements being made in cancer biology will be slowed greatly.”
We are pleased that the USCIS agreed with our thorough presentation, first approving our client’s EB-2 NIW, and then granting her a green card. We thank her for placing her complete trust in us to help her attain permanent residency in the United States.
