North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to handle the case of a Postdoctoral Fellow who originated from China. His work had focused specifically on elucidating biological pathways and mechanisms in various diseases, such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, he has conducted projects on the deficiency of the phosphorylation of rps6 inhibited uninephorectomy induced kidney hypertrophy, and conditional knockout of VPS34 in podocyte disrupted autophagic and endocytic pathways. We used his experience and demonstrated expertise to prove that his continued employment in the field of Cell Biology would advance his field, as well as provide benefits for the citizens of the United States at large. In order to achieve this success for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 14 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 91 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 inherent merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “He was instrumental in studying the developmental changes that occurred in the pituitary secretions and growth hormone expression in the pigs’ tissues. [Client] and his team showed that Chinese pigs have such comparatively low production efficiency because of a deficiency of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 expression. This was a groundbreaking finding from an animal husbandry standpoint, especially for countries that are still developing and have been unable to produce the amount of usable meat necessary to sustain their populations.” 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. His NIW petition was approved in 6 months and 26 days.
