Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in Chemistry, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of Organic Synthetic Chemistry. When he contacted our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we examined more into his degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating his credentials, we established that we would lead him to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.
We intended to prove that he is an essential researcher in his field of Organic Synthetic Chemistry, therefore we added essential attributes to his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet.
- We noted that his work has been cited 23 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his chosen field.
- We also detailed his research contributions which resulted in the 7 research articles (4 of them first-authored) published in respected peer-reviewed journals in the field of organic chemistry.
- Also, he has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including the NIH's mission to gain fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems to enhance public health and the NIGMS's mission to support basic research that advances disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
- To bolster our client’s case further, we added recommendation letters signed by four other expert scholars in the field.
Thus, our client’s education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that he is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.
We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in his field of expertise make him an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, he received his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval in 2 days only. Therefore, we thank him for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent his case and wish him very well as he continues to advance in his proposed field.
All of these factors together with his education, experience, expertise, his record of publication and citation, and his history of successful research in the field, indicate that his research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance since it addresses key challenges related to sustainable transport.
