Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Researcher from Taiwan in the field of Molecular Genetics. His work has focused on molecular symbiosis and the development of gene therapy for disease treatment, as well as anti-cancer agents and their mechanism of action. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Molecular Genetics, including 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles, a book chapter, and a number of presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 240 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, “[Client]’s work has had a profound impact on the molecular genetics community both in influencing others and inspiring additional projects, but also on the broader, general community that can benefit from the results of his research.[. . .] [Client], who has distinguished himself as one of the premier researchers on the mechanisms underlying molecular symbiosis of yeast.” 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 22 days.
