Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Biostatistics Manager from Taiwan.   Her work has focused specifically on neural degradation in Alzheimer’s patients and differences between the sexes, genetic effects on Alzheimer’s progression, signal detection in the brain, and the dermatologic disorder molluscum contagiosum. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to her field, including 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, multiple awards, and many conference papers and presentations. Her publications had been cited at least 22 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.  The importance of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] method was developed in order to determine the genetic effect of Alzheimer’s disease on brain regions during brain imaging while simultaneously accounting for such factors as age and gender, which have been previously shown to have a significant effect on the progression of this disease.”  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 6 months and 9 days.
