Success Stories: NIW Approved for Scientist in Molecular Biology with NAILG’s Guidance

Client’s Testimonial:

“That’s fantastic news – thank you so much!!!”

On February 27^th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Scientist in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice).

General Field: Molecular Biology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientist

Country of Origin: Russia

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Oregon

Approval Notice Date: February 27^th, 2025

Processing Time: 1 month, 21 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Our client is a molecular biology researcher working to transform the early detection and treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). His proposed endeavor centers on the development of a deterministic model that uses epigenetic signatures to identify individuals at high risk of both initial onset and relapse, aiming to improve outcomes and reduce mortality associated with this aggressive blood cancer.

By advancing precision in early diagnosis, his work enables clinicians to deliver targeted interventions before symptoms escalate, helping improve survival rates and reduce healthcare disparities. His model leverages complex molecular profiling to pinpoint early biological markers of disease, placing his research at the forefront of the personalized medicine movement.

With strategic support and petition preparation from the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG), his EB-2 NIW petition emphasized the national importance of his work and demonstrated his exceptional qualifications to continue this endeavor in the U.S.

At the time of filing, his key credentials included:

11 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored, 2 co-first-authored), 2 conference abstracts (1 first-authored), 2 preprints
1,078 total citations
Research supported by the American Cancer Society

His impact in the field has also been recognized by leading experts, as reflected in the following testimonial:

“To sum up, [client] has tackled genomic imprinting mechanisms and advanced DNA methylation analysis techniques, including understanding epigenetic regulation, protein interactions, and cellular communication problems through his important research. [Client]’s remarkable works establish him as a uniquely valuable figure in the field of molecular biology.”

Following NAILG’s expert guidance and a strong petition filing, our client’s case was approved, allowing him to continue pursuing life-saving innovations in molecular diagnostics that support national healthcare goals and benefit patients worldwide.
