Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral fellow from Taiwan working in the field of bioinformatics. His work had focused on developing informatics solutions to analyze and interpret high-throughput next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry 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 bioinformatics, including at least 4 peer-reviewed articles published in leading scientific journals and 4 conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 29 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] work clearly demonstrates that innovative computational approaches are essential to our understanding of the human body and our search for new discoveries in the treatment of disease. [Client’s] research involving protein and RNA biomarkers has significant implications for our nation. Effective biomarkers will allow for developing diagnostic measures which is especially valuable when early intervention is required to secure the efficacy of treatment.” 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 in 5 months.
