Client’s Testimonial:
“I have also received [the] approval notice. Thanks a lot, good job!”
On February 20th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Specialist in the Field of Biology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Specialist
Country of Origin: Russia
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Virginia
Processing Time: 9 months, 29 days
Case Summary:
A research specialist from Russia hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to improve the presentation of his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition and file it on his behalf. Our client chose to file his I-485 application (final step in the green card process) while his petition was pending and although he recently received news of the latter’s approval, he is still waiting for the USCIS to approve his I-485 application.
Our client is exploring novel technologies and computational techniques to better understand scientific subjects by experimenting on various model organisms. We established that his work enhances the scientific community’s understanding of how the human brain works and sheds light on the cellular mechanism of epilepsy and episodic memory. The 278 citations gathered from his 13 published papers corroborated this claim.
As part of our strategy, we persuaded our client to contact other biologists for testimonials. He managed to convince four experts to contribute recommendation letters, one of whom wrote, “Throughout the multitude of experiences I have had in my career, and the total research I have completed, few experiences have been as enjoyable as working with [Client], who is an extremely talented, productive, and a one-of-a-kind research scientist.” Another expert stated that “Only highly talented scientists can perform studies like this that elicit major novel discoveries in computational neuroscience. [Client] has already achieved this accomplishment with his complex research on the hippocampus and the computational models he has developed. He is one of the most advanced minds I have ever worked with, and I greatly look forward to witnessing the fruits of his continued labor.”
Because of our client’s strong credentials and our expertise in proving that his work benefits the United States public health and clinical sectors, the immigration officers at TSC approved our client’s NIW case. We congratulate our client on completing the first hurdle in the green card process and we wish him well as he perseveres with his investigations.
