Case Summary:
We at Chen Immigration Law Associates strive for excellence in our work, and our excellence is reflected in our success rate for EB-2 NIW cases, which as of present is 99%. NIW cases require the following criteria to be met: the client seeks employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit; the proposed benefit of the client’s current work is national in scope; and the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required.
With this in consideration, we make sure to work directly with our clients every step of the way to both ensure case approvals and also assure client satisfaction. As in every NIW case we start off by highlighting our client’s background and achievements. In this case we made grounds that our client was exceptional in that they had achieved advanced degrees in the fields of Medicine and Neurology. Furthermore, we highlighted our client’s outstanding accomplishments in research and publication. In addition, as in all EB-2 cases we highlighted the number of citations that this client is associated with (204), which is exceptional in this type of petition.
In addition to the client’s background and achievements, in order to guarantee a successful case we presented evidence that the client seeks employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. We did this by illustrating both the qualitative and quantitative benefits of their research as well as obtaining recommendation letters from both associated and unaffiliated researchers in the field of medicine. In all the recommendations letters we made the explicit case that this researcher’s work in the field of chronic pain was indispensable to the national interest
Following the criteria required we then proved that our client’s current work was national in scope. We did this by highlighting the importance of research for chronic pain United States specifically, as chronic pain is a national health issue, costing the nation $600 billion each year.
In order to provide evidence that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required, we illustrated the client’s exceptional experience in the field of Neurology and Medicine through the letters of many distinguished industry experts across the medical and bio-medical research community, many of which are world-renowned in their specific field.
