Case Summary:

“The substantial merit of [the client’s] work is undeniable. Her research is critical to increasing our ability to discover novel therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that minimize the dosage of antibodies required to treat specific conditions. To this end, [the client] has been developing a protein engineering strategy that produces antibodies with improved dose potency, demonstrating the inherent usefulness of her work. Her research directly addresses global problems related to the ineffectiveness of therapeutic drugs that are currently available.”

The above statement was issued as a part of a longer letter of recommendation written for our client from China by an expert in the field of biochemistry. As is evident, our client was clearly a very respected member of the scientific community due to the far-reaching significance of her research. Hailing from China, she had a Ph.D. in oral biology and was working as a postdoctoral research scientist while applying for NIW approval to the USCIS.

Our team has worked with thousands of NIW petitioners in the past and knew what ticked the boxes for the adjudicating bench at the USCIS. So we collected relevant information from her academic and professional career such as the following:

• As an expert in the field her proposed endeavor is to continue her research on advancing novel protein characterization approaches for discovering and engineering antibodies in order to develop new therapeutics that target difficult diseases.
• Her work advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it progresses therapeutics in order to reduce the burden of various diseases that contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality.
• Her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since her work had led to the discovery of more effective treatments for acute liver injury caused by acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP).
• Due to its clear national importance, her work has in fact been supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program), and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
• Academically, she has completed at least 3 reviews to date and her research has resulted in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) which have been cited a total of 82 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biochemistry.
• The 4 letters of recommendation also assisted in getting the case approved.

All of these factors played in her favor and won her the approval in just 1 month’s time. This was made possible by our team’s excellent case preparation and premium processing upgrade. We thank our client for choosing us and we wish her success in her future endeavors.
