Client’s Testimonial:
“I cannot believe [it]!! It [was] approved this fast :) Thank you a lot for all your help!”
On February 29th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Adjunct Faculty Member in the Field of Biophysics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biophysics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Adjunct Faculty Member
Country of Origin: Turkey
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: February 29th, 2016
Processing Time: 49 days
Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in Physics, 3 peer-reviewed scientific papers, and nearly 30 citations to her work, our client had the experience and qualifications to file her green card case under EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). A notable aspect of this case is the surprisingly short adjudication timeline. The USCIS only spent 49 days adjudicating this case before they granted their approval—the average processing time is between 4-9 months. We strongly believe that our meticulous NIW presentation and our client’s solid credentials played a role in the case approval.
Alongside out client’s academic and professional qualifications, North America Immigration Law Group incorporated six recommendation letters provided by experts in the field of biophysics. These letters furnished the USCIS with further proof of our client’s impressive qualifications, and backed up our claim that not many others in the field can attain her level of research success on cell membrane dynamics and structure. For instance, one of these letters stated, “[Client] will continue to be instrumental in advancing progress in biophysics and cell membrane science.” Another recommender wrote, “[Client's] research is paving the way for progress in advanced medicine technologies. Without a precise knowledge of the biophysical ordering of cell membranes, the opportunity to develop sophisticated drugs that target specific pathways of cellular activity will be missed.”
In short, we presented a strong case to the USCIS and convinced them that our client’s EB-2 NIW petition should be approved, and that she is worthy to file an I-485 application (the follow up step to a green card). We recently filed these applications for our client and her spouse, and we join them as they await optimistic news from the USCIS. In the meantime, we wish our client all the best with her research efforts and thank her for choosing our firm to represent her NIW case.
