Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine and many years of experience working in the field of molecular biology, our client decided that the time had come for her to secure a green card. She approached North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) for help with the first step of the green card process: filing an I-140 petition. After evaluating her credentials, we determined that she would be a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). These are some of the key points included in her petition:
- We noted the 5 articles to her name, all of which were published in well-known scientific journals. The dissemination of our client’s work via journals ensured that various researchers around the world had access to her findings, and thus, are able to work collectively to progress the field as a whole.
- Thanks to Google Scholar and other reliable sources such as Scopus, we determined that our client’s work had been cited 289 times at the time of filing. This proved to the USCIS that her findings impact the work of other researchers.
- To back up our argument that our client deserved the national interest waiver, we included recommendation letters volunteered by four other experts in the field. According to one of them: “[Client’s] work is located at the very leading edge of practical and methods-based development in molecular biology, and the diversity and range of her professional competence would be extremely difficult to replace. It is for this reason that I so strongly endorse the continuation of her work.”
