Case Summary:

Armed with a Ph.D., a Chinese postdoc scholar working in the field of organic chemistry came to NAILG seeking help with his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. So before taking on the client, we tried to ascertain the value of his research and the merit of his claims to the NIW category, we conducted an extensive background check. This helped us form a detailed view of his career path and prove beyond reasonable doubt that his projects were indeed valuable to the United States.

So we went ahead and personalized the petition with information collected from his CV and transcripts. We made sure to include the following information in it:

That as an expert in the field of organic chemistry, his proposed endeavor is to use computational and synthetic chemistry techniques to identify new targets related to parasitic infections and cancer, ultimately designing and producing new bio-related small molecules to develop new therapeutic options.
That his research has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored).
That these publications have been cited a total of 40 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of organic chemistry.
That in recognition of the value and importance of his work, it has been granted funding by the National Science Foundation.

On the other hand, some of the recommenders had the following to say of his work:

“The pharmaceutical industry benefits substantially from [client’s] work because of its incredible value in drug development. Drug development is one of the most crucial and expensive elements of pharmaceutical research and development, so [client’s] work reducing this major cost point has inherent value to this major United States market.”

“[The client’s] research is applicable on a fundamental level. Electron transport at long range is critical to understanding respiration, photosynthesis, intermediary metabolism’s redox reactions, and much more. This means that [client’s] work has far-reaching implications for a number of fields and industries in which the United States has long been a world leader.”

Thus we are delighted to hear of his case approval and we wish him the very best in life.
