Case Summary:
A postdoctoral researcher from India hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Applicants must have very strong credentials to qualify for the EB-2 NIW category and our client undoubtedly possesses the education and professional expertise needed. We documented her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the 79 citations collected from her work, and her dozen publications. We also highlighted the importance of our client’s insights to her field of molecular biology by including information on the 7 peer reviews she conducted for 4 scientific journals.
To strengthen our NIW petition, we prompted our client to contact other experts in her field and request for recommendation letters. Six experts agreed to lend their support, and one of them wrote, “Her continued contributions are needed to improve our understanding of the human heart and to further the fight against cardiovascular disease.” Another recommender had this to say about the importance of our client’s research: “Without [Client’s] continued participation, many of the most important research initiatives within the molecular biology community will be delayed noticeably. Even worse, the fight against cancer and other diseases associated with misregulations and mutations of genetic material will be set back drastically.”
In short, our meticulous presentation of our client’s work, her impressive credentials, and the support that we gathered from experts in the field all lent a hand in convincing the USCIS that our client’s research is important to the United States, particularly toward the discovery and development of drugs for the treatment of cardiac diseases and heart failure. We congratulate our client on this milestone and thank for her choosing us to represent her NIW case.
