Case Summary:

We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a postdoctoral fellow in the field of Cancer Biology. The client focused the sub-field of tumor microenvironments and had contributed to the finding that hypoxic cancer cells are able to conserve energy to survive without oxygen. This client was also involved with the research team who had developed a new cancer drug. His research had resulted in 1 co-authored journal article and 5 first-authored journal articles which had been cited 34 times when his case was filed. An independent recommender supported the client by stating: “Tumor microenvironments are difficult, if not impossible to treat with traditional cancer drugs, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, because the treatment cannot be transmitted to them through the blood. As a result, tumor microenvironments remain a challenge to understand even for some of the world’s leading cancer scientists, and there are only a very few research groups working on the topic. Experience with studying it is hard to come by.” This EB-2 NIW petition received approval after 4 months, 26 days.
