Client’s Testimonial:

Thanks . . . Great work!

On September 11th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Biostatistician in the field of Computational Biology (Approval Notice)

General Field: Computational Biology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Biostatistician Country of Origin: South Korea Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: September 11, 2013 Processing Time: 3 weeks

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a biostatistician from South Korea working in the field of computational biology. His work had focused specifically on statistical genomics for the comprehensive analysis and management of genomic data. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of computational biology, including at least 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 30 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] research on information integration and his development of software that follows sound methodology is a major accomplishment of national importance. These types of advances will one day lead to such things as personalized medicine, and being able to soundly analyze genomic data will lead to better disease diagnosis and treatment among other critically important advances.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved just 3 weeks.
