Success Stories: NIW Petition Approval Allows Iranian Medical Lab Charge Technologist in the Field of Molecular Biology to be Eligible for Immigrant Visa Processing
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for good news.”
On March 24th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Medical Lab Charge Technologist in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Molecular Biology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Medical Lab Charge Technologist
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: N/A
Approval Notice Date: March 24th, 2016
Processing Time: 8 months, 3 days
A medical lab charge technologist from Iran approached North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client is working in the field of molecular biology and has ample experience conducting research on the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (VPAC) receptors within HIV-1 infection.
EB-2 NIW Petition Packet:
Besides completing all the necessary paperwork for our client, our attorneys and support staff helped him narrow down a list of potential recommenders who could support his EB-2 NIW petition. We needed specialists in the field who could verify our claim: that by determining more effective treatment pathways for various diseases, our client’s work is essential to the American healthcare sector and the overall economy. We also needed to fortify our argument that our client is one of only a handful of researchers who can attain such meritorious research results. We helped our client select six recommenders, all of whom agreed to lend their support. Our client promptly obtained their signed recommendation letters and we incorporated them into our petition. One of these recommenders stated, “…I feel that he has a bright future ahead given his prolific accomplishments thus far…If he is allowed to continue his research work in America, I can assure you that he will continue to advance our understanding of molecular diseases, thus propelling the medical field as a whole.”
Accompanying these recommendation letters was evidence of our client’s professional accomplishments: his Ph.D. in Medical Sciences, the 37 citations to his work, and his 3 published scientific articles.
Immigrant Visa Processing:
As our client does not reside in the United States but rather, in Canada, he cannot file an I-485 application. Instead, he is eligible for Immigrant Visa Processing (IVP) at an American embassy or consulate. Amongst other things, our client has to pay the filing fee and schedule an interview. If he does well at the interview, he will be granted an immigrant visa. This visa allows him and his dependents to enter the United States as permanent residents. We congratulate our client on obtaining an EB-2 NIW petition approval and we wish him well with IVP. To learn more about this step, head to: http://www.wegreened.com/Consular-Processing
