Case Summary:
In this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, a research fellow from Taiwan hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help her attain a green card. Our client’s educational and professional qualifications met the standards put forth to qualify her for the national interest waiver. When we filed the case, she had a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology and had published 8 scientific articles which had gathered an impressive 1581 citations.
Although our client had strong credentials, she needed our legal expertise to enhance her EB-2 NIW petition packet. We assisted her in narrowing down a list of potential recommenders who could contribute testimonials, all of whom were experts in the field of molecular biology. Our client obtained four letters which we included in our well-balanced EB-2 NIW petition packet, one of which stated, “Our country and my research program depend on exceptional scientists like [Client] to pursue the most cutting edge science and maintain international leadership in biomedical research. [Client’s] importance to the field of cancer research is incalculable, and it is imperative that her work continue here in the United States.”
Our legal team raised a service request when the adjudication timeline went beyond the average processing time. We also sent a follow up email when the immigration officers at TSC did not respond to our request. They eventually informed us that our client’s petition was in line for processing and not long after, approved the case. As our client chose to file her I-485 application (final step in the green card process) while her NIW petition was pending, she received her green card approval notice a month after the first approval. We join our client in celebrating this joyous occasion and wish her well as she welcomes new beginnings in the United States.
