North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow in Maryland in the field of Nanoscience. Her work has focused specifically on the design and development of methods for the sensing, detection, and destruction of pathogens and toxins.As a nano scientist with a robust background in applied chemistry and chemical technology, she has experience with the synthesis and surface modification of hybrid nanoparticles with applications in imaging and in-vivo photothermal ablation of select microbial and cancer cell targets. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Nanoscience, including 17 peer-reviewed journal articles, a review article, 4 book chapters, and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 435 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field.As stated by one independent recommender, “Itwould be an understatement to assert [client] is a ‘gifted chemist’ when her assays reveal incredible technical proficiency with the latest state-of-the-art instrumentation through the development of new targeted sensing and imaging modalities that contribute to food-safety and enable regulatory standards. [Client] has an incomparable trackrecord developing sensitive and precise targeting nanotechnology, which sets her apart as uniquely qualified to make even greater strides in the development of nano sensors and imaging modalities using nanotechnology at the FDA.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in 5 months and 29 days.
