Success Stories: Our Team at North America Immigration Aids a South Korean Postdoctoral Associate in Organic Chemistry Win NIW and I-485 Approvals
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks for helping me for preparing the I-140 petition! Thanks a lot.”
On September 29th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Organic Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Organic Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate
Country of Origin: South Korea
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: September 29th, 2022
Processing Time: 5 months, 24 days
Case Summary:
The EB2-NIW or National Interest Waiver is a kind of nonimmigrant visa for those individuals who can prove that their work in the chosen field is of interest to the United States. So when any client comes to us, we ensure the success of their cases by first doing a thorough background search and then putting together a personalized petition for them. This is the process we followed when a postdoctoral associate in organic chemistry came to us for her case. We collected the following data for her petition and won her the approval in less than 6 months and that too without an RFE:
As an expert in the field her proposed endeavor is to continue her work identifying lead molecules in order to develop novel drugs for treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, addiction, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections which is of great importance because, among other key applications, it facilitates the development of more effective cancer therapeutics. Her experience with translesion synthesis has enabled her to directly support the development of more targeted therapeutics that circumvents the issue of drug resistance in cancer patients.
At the same time, her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since her research has diverse applications, but is particularly relevant to aiding in the country’s ongoing opioid epidemic. It was due to national importance that her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health sub-agencies, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Along with this, her work has resulted in 22 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of them first-authored and 3 of them co-first-authored) which have been cited a total of 412 times according to Google Scholar.
All in all, she has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor of identifying lead molecules for 14 years granting her undeniable superiority over other researchers in the field. It was her experience who also won her the approval quickly.
We thank her for seeking our assistance in this process and we sincerely hope that she does well in her future endeavors.
