On February 5th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Associate Research Scientist in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Molecular Biology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Associate Research Scientist
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Connecticut
Processing Time: 3 months, 17 days
Case Summary:
This EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case involved an associate research scientist from China who hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him file an I-140 petition (first step in green card proceedings).
As part of our approach, we encouraged our client to contact other influential molecular biologists and ask them for letters of recommendation. Our client managed to obtain four strong letters and we included them in our meticulously prepared EB-2 NIW petition. One of these letters stated, in part, that “[Client’s] expertise is profound and relevant to interests of national healthcare in the United States, especially where it has to do with cancer. He is a highly-qualified and accomplished medical researcher and there are few, if any, who can rival the excellence of his expertise in his specific areas of study.” We supplemented these letters with proof of our client’s expertise in the field of molecular biology. We detailed his 6 publications that had amassed 320 citations, and crafted carefully-worded summaries of his research on identifying the pathways and targets implicated in cancer therapeutics. We used all the evidence we gathered to demonstrate that our client’s work is of absolute value to the United States, particularly its healthcare industry.
As our client’s wife was born in Singapore, the rules of cross-chargeability apply. This means that our client does not have to wait for his priority date to become current before filing his I-485 application (final step in green card proceedings), as is the case with other Chinese applicants filing under EB-2 NIW. We wish him all the best in obtaining his green card.
