On February 16th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Field of Molecular Medicine (Approval Notice).
General Field: Molecular Medicine
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Scholar
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida
Processing Time: 9 months, 11 days
Case Summary:
“[Client] has contributed important technological advancements to DNA damage testing, and she has contributed to our understanding of the causes of skin cancer. The combination of these innovative skills renders [Client] a uniquely qualified scientist, committed to improving the health of the American public in the field of cancer research.”
The statement above is taken from a recommendation letter contributed by a well-known professor in the field of molecular medicine. This letter was written in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. This testimonial, and several others that were written by other experts, was included in the NIW petition packet that North America Immigration Law Group compiled and submitted to the USCIS on behalf of our client, an Iranian postdoctoral research scholar. Our petition also included proof that our client’s work is of great value to the United States and that not many other scientists can achieve such commendable results. For instance, we detailed her work on the underlying mechanisms of DNA damage/DNA repair, and highlighted the 156 citations to her 8 publications and one patent.
In short, our legal team presented a strong case to the USCIS and convinced them that our client qualifies for a national interest waiver. Our client, who chose to file her I-485 while her I-140 was pending, recently received the good news that she is now an American permanent resident. We would like to congratulate her for accomplishing her goal of attaining a green card, and we wish her well in her continued research.
