Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow from the Philippines in the field of Structural Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. He developed a novel technique to rapidly determine optimal conditions for protein refolding, and has implemented this method to refold proteins of significant clinical or research value. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving  his highly significant contributions to Structural Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous submitted conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 32 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “Because of [client], the United States stands to gain many valuable medical therapies in the future, and without his continued research, these innovations would be lost. These advances will not only promote the socioeconomic viability of the nation, but will also foster the health and happiness of its citizens.” 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 7 months and 25 days.
