Case Summary:

At Chen Immigration Law Associates, we received another NIW approval notice for a client in the field of neuroscience and biology. This client is a research fellow specializing in the interactions between glia cells and axons during nervous system development, with a goal towards better understanding the underlying mechanisms of many diseases and cancers. In order to ensure the success of this case, we submitted extensive documentation of the client’s highly significant contributions to the neuroscience and biology. Our client's work has resulted in at least 6 peer-reviewed scholarly publications and 10 conference presentations appearing in leading journals and international conference proceedings. Her publications have been cited at least 86 times by researchers around the world, signifying the major significance of her research work in the field of endeavor. Additionally, our firm drafted and submitted several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field. One of the independent recommenders stated, “I cannot stress enough how important [the Petitioner's] research has been to her field. Nervous system disorders and diseases are some of the most common health afflictions in the United States. Consequently it is imperative that neuroscience becomes a research priority for the medical community. Neuronal diseases are highly debilitating, require intensive care, and are an enormous burden on American families. [the Petitioner's] contributions are essential to providing the necessary information to properly treat these diseases.”  With the strong petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, her NIW case was approved in less than 5 months.
