The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work in this case was a biologist from India. Her work had focused specifically on effects of mitochondria on disease, along with the study of the mechanisms by which cardiovascular disease and cancer can be combatted. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to her field, including 11 peer-reviewed journal articles, 8 conference papers and numerous presentations at international conferences. Her publications had been cited at least 93 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “Due to [Client’s] research efforts we now understand the unique metabolic functions of blood cells, and medical researchers can select the most appropriate blood cell type to use in the diagnosis of diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and other chronic diseases. Furthermore, [Client] has added significantly to the knowledge base of the fields of metabolic biology and immunology.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in 6 months and 6 days.
