Client’s Testimonial:
“Good morning and thank you a lot for this exciting news […] Thanks again for the great work.”
On March 4th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Field of Biomedical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biomedical Engineering
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: Kentucky
Approval Notice Date: March 4th, 2016
Processing Time: 6 months, 14 days
Case Summary:
Texas Service Center spent six and a half months adjudicating this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client, a postdoctoral research scholar from Iran, selected North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to handle his case because he knew that we are the best at what we do.
With a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, over 70 citations to his work, and 4 published scientific articles to his name, our client possessed the professional and academic expertise to qualify for the national interest waiver. Alongside these details was information on his various research projects on the use of innovative technological methods to study and analyze various health concerns, specifically sleep and its relationship to epilepsy in humans and cardiac abnormalities, such as atrial fibrillation.
Part of our duties was to ensure that all benefits of our client’s research were carefully listed in our comprehensive EB-2 NIW petition packet. For instance, we established that his research impacts the formulation of more potent therapies for epilepsy and cardiovascular diseases by elucidating novel patterns, signals, and contributing factors that cause them. We also summarized the importance of our client’s work to the United States, particularly the country’s healthcare sector and medical research community.
To bolster our NIW petition, we urged our client to persuade other experts in his field of biomedical engineering to provide strong recommendation letters. Six experts agreed to lend their support, and their letters played significant roles in convincing Texas Service Center that our client’s work is important not just to a handful of researchers, but to the entire nation. Here are several quotes:
- “… If [Client] were to not be able to continue working in the United States, the quality and pace of research in the areas of biomedical engineering and machine learning would be significantly impacted. For this reason, it is of paramount importance that he be allowed to continue performing research that helps in the prevention and treatment of sleep disorders.”
- “[Client’s] mastery of techniques and concepts pertaining to neural engineering, machine learning, and biomedical signal processing makes him a singularly qualified scientist and elevates him above his peers. There are few individuals able to match [Client’s] credentials and record of success in this particular domain. Supporting his ongoing research is an investment in the nation’s best interests.”
- “[Client’s] qualifications as a biomedical engineer set him apart from his peers and allow him to produce such significant work…”
This EB-2 NIW petition approval is another encouraging example of our dedication to helping all our clients get one step closer to permanent residency. We thank our client for placing his trust in us, and we wish him well as he continues to advance his field of biomedical engineering.
