Case Summary:

An EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval was granted to a postdoctoral associate from China. Before commencing the attorney-client relationship with her, we thoroughly assessed her credentials to verify the authenticity. After a complete evaluation, we affirmed that we could help her obtain the national interest waiver. Our team gathered all the relevant key points to be emphasized in her petition packet confirming her academic and professional attainments. Here are some of the following details:

  • Primarily, we noted that she held a Ph.D. in immunology and microbiology with extensive experience researching the field of molecular biology. Also, that she had published 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), which altogether amassed 75 citations, concluding that she has a major influence on other scholars in the field. Besides, she conducted 2 peer reviews for highly acclaimed journals to date. This indicates the significance and impact of her investigations and vast knowledge in this area of study.
  • More importantly, we briefed her research focused on investigating HIV infection and host immune response by determining the underlying molecular pathways involved in HIV latency for the enhanced development of antiretroviral drugs, flu vaccines, and the eradication of HIV. Our sole aim was to determine that her research is of great importance as it cures disease and protects public health. It seemed to be directly relevant to national health goals.
  • Furthermore, we added that her research has been supported by funding grants from leading agencies, another measure of her success in pursuing her work here in the U.S. This funding includes grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Basic Research Program of China, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), therefore demonstrates the significance and national importance of her research. To corroborate further, we incorporated 5 recommendation letters gathered from her peers, and according to one of them:
“[Client’s] work serves those in the U.S. on account of HIV's continued presence in the country... Obviously, studying HIV progression, prevention, and treatment is inherently worthwhile. With no cure for HIV yet, her work embodies a breakthrough. In this way, her research concerns all Americans, not just those with HIV.”

Overall, we proved to the USCIS that our client should be allowed to continue her research in the U.S. as she offers contributions of such value that, on the whole, they would benefit the United States. Thus, USCIS took the time to adjudicate her case wisely and granted the NIW approval. Our team at the North America Immigration Law Group thanks our client for associating with us and allowing us to be a part of her triumph.
