Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral fellow from Taiwan working in the field of immunology. She had focused most of her work specifically on the significance of T cell receptors in immune-related disease and how the repertoire of a T cell receptor is generated during T lymphocyte development. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her 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 immunology, including at least seven articles published in top journals. Her publications had been cited at least 328 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Besides the clear importance of [client’s] work for national health concerns, understanding the functioning and basic structures of T cells and their components is a pressing challenge in the scientific community. At this stage in her career, [client] has proven she has the ability to contribute in significant ways to developmental and molecular immunology, and some of her work has direct relevance to applications in pharmacology.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in just 6 weeks.
