Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) recently worked with a postdoctoral research associate from Taiwan. Our client, who has a Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, hired us to help her file an I-140 under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. Her advanced degree, 128 citations, 5 published papers, and years of experience in her field of molecular biology made her a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW.

As part of our services, we helped our client connect with other influential molecular biologists to request recommendation letters which we then included in our meticulously prepared petition packet. One of these letters stated, “… [Client] has been advancing the field of molecular biology by doing such things as offering her peers critical results and novel ways of studying virus pathogenesis, tRNA dynamics, and mRNA trafficking, and, in the bigger picture, advancing biomedical knowledge of diseases and treatments.” Our legal team took great care in accounting for our client’s investigations on the molecular mechanisms of brain development and of diseases such as cancer. We demonstrated that her research on new treatment methods for these diseases is beneficial to the United States healthcare system, and that no one else with similar qualifications has accomplished what she has.

Our client, who chose to file her I-485 (final step in the green card process) while her I-140 was pending, recently received the good news that her green card application had been approved. North America Immigration Law Group joins her in celebrating her permanent residency.
