Case Summary:

A research scientist III in the field of bioanalytical chemistry contacted North America Immigration Law Group to assist him in filing an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Before agreeing to take his case, we evaluated his professional and academic background as a part of our legal service. After a considerate assessment, we counter-signed the client-attorney contract and started building a strong case for him by adding the following required details in our petition packet:

Firstly, we highlighted our client’s proposed research on utilizing liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to analyze messenger RNA drugs in order to reduce drug impurities and enhance drug efficacy. His research work is of great importance because it improves the development, overall efficacy, and safety of pharmaceuticals.
We also noted his 4 peer-reviewed journal articles, including articles in top-ranked and highly exclusive journals which accumulated 178 citations. His publications have been the most cited in the field, symbolizing both the originality and significance of his ways and outcomes. These facts prove that he holds a central role in bioanalytical chemistry research as he has provided new knowledge into the analysis of RNA modifications, highlighting his capacity to enhance the efficacy of RNA-based pharmaceuticals.

We greatly believe that the significance of his work is corroborated by the evidence of his peers and government interest in his research, and his past record of success positions him well to continue his work here in the United States. Thus, we urged our client to obtain a few recommendation letters to be attached to his petition packet, and four experts agreed to endorse the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition by signing testimonials. Here is what one of his recommenders had to say about our client and his work:

“Through his development of RNA modification analysis software, [client] has aided drug development, and in turn, contributed to the sale of more accurate and effective drugs for the millions of Americans that rely on them daily. It is clear that his work has benefitted the United States and will continue to do so in the future.”

His EB-2 NIW was approved within 6 months, without any further request for evidence, setting it as another example of our law firm’s diligence. We truly thank our client for associating with us and we wish him well as he continues to advance the field of bioanalytical chemistry with his extensive research.
