On December 16th, 2020, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Student in the Field of Microbiology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Microbiology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Student
Country of Origin: Sudan
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Montana
Approval Notice Date: December 16th, 2020
Processing Time: 11 months
Case Summary:
With an M.Sc. degree in biotechnology, a Ph.D. student based in Montana hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to help her document an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her account. We ensured her bonafide candidature before progressing with filing the petition. We assessed her research work which focuses on honey bee virology to reduce virus-associated honey bee deaths in the United States, thereby proving its great importance because it improves the conditions for honey bee survival which is critical for maintaining and increasing horticultural yields and, accordingly, to economic security and human health.
Our client’s petition packet also underlined her publications and citation record. Our client’s publications included 6 peer-reviewed journal articles that had acquired 69 citations, signifying that her publications are well-recognized in the field of microbiology. Also, these papers have been published in the top journals reflecting her peers’ acknowledgment of the value of her findings.
Moreover, in further evidence of her acknowledged expertise in the field, our client is also active in the scientific community as a peer reviewer for highly acclaimed journals and has already reviewed for a highly acclaimed journal.
Our priority was to present her case strongly to the USCIS by stating the correct facts and testimonials incorporating her education and training, her documented record of scholarly publication, and the recognized influence of her research in the field. All the listed details demonstrate that she is well-positioned to advance her research work in the proposed endeavor.
It was inevitable for us to add the five recommendation letters obtained by our client from the other notable experts in the field. One of her recommenders has highlighted her use of innovative methodologies, the nature of her breakthroughs, and the ways that her unique findings have been applied throughout the field:
“Continued investment in and support of her research endeavors is necessary to shore up bee pollination in both agricultural and natural environments, as the global decline of bee pollinators is an important environmental issue throughout the world.”
We finally demonstrated to the USCIS that our client had satisfied all the EB-2 requirements and she is indeed a valuable possession to the United States. The entire team at NAILG congratulates her for securing the EB-2 NIW petition approval and we also thank her for her constant support throughout this long journey.
