General Field: Cell Biology

Case Summary:
The North America Immigration Law Group regularly represents foreign nationals in applying under the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. In this case, an assistant professor in the field of cell biology has been approved. The client has granted permission for our law firm to share her story in order to encourage others who may be considering filing under the NIW to successfully obtain a green card or permanent residency in the U.S.
There are several advantages to submitting an NIW case before acquiring a green card. The NIW is one of the alternatives under U.S. immigration law for attracting highly skilled individuals whose work has substantial merit and is of national importance. In contrast to most employment-based categories, the NIW category does not require an application from the petitioning employer. The NIW category eliminates the usual need to obtain a labor certification if it is accepted. Our client requested that we put together a solid NIW petition package on her behalf, recognizing that the North America Immigration Law Group has filed NIWs for our clients and has more than 32,000 approved cases under the firm's belt.
Thus, we as a team assured her that we would include all the relevant information in her petition packet to help her secure the national interest waiver. We started with:
