In this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, a research associate from China approached North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him obtain a green card. Our client’s doctoral degree, his 30 publications, and the 217 citations to his work made him a suitable candidate to file his case under the EB-2 NIW visa category.
Our efforts focused on persuading the USCIS that our client’s research is of the utmost importance to the United States. We documented his numerous research projects on gene therapy treatments for cardiovascular disease, muscular dystrophy, and hypertension, and proved that his work contributes to the country’s medical sector, thereby impacting the health of Americans. Several recommendation letters provided by experts in our client’s field of human genetics were included as additional proof of his capabilities as a distinguished geneticist. As one of his recommenders put it, “His work history, foundational background in the field, and numerous research developments have helped him earn his national and international reputation as a top researcher in gene therapy and pharmaceutical development. [Client] is an irreplaceable researcher, with a unique perspective that cannot be matched elsewhere.”
We are pleased that our client’s strong credentials and our meticulous efforts lent a hand in this NIW case approval. We join our client in celebrating this milestone.
