Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Taiwan in the field of Molecular Biology. His work has focused specifically on the molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular phenomenon that have been shown to be related to serious conditions such as cancer and preeclampsia. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Molecular Biology, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and severalinternational conference abstracts. His publications had been cited at least 193 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, “It is no exaggeration to say that [client]’s work is absolutely imperative to the continuation of scientific progress and the subsequent discoveries. His work serves as a fundamental piece of the greater challenge of developing safe and effective treatment options for those suffering from preeclampsia, which is a major concern both in the U.S. and in the global medical field.” 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 1 day.
