North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow from Taiwan in the field of Biomedical Research. Her work has focused specifically on how abnormal folding and accumulation of proteins and RNAs cause neurodegenerative diseases, such as prion diseases, Machado-Joseph disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Biomedical Research, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous conference papers.Her publications had been cited at least 56 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. She also contributed to her field by performing peer review work for multiple scholarly journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s postdoctoral research can be used as the mechanistic basis for the development of therapies targeted at those Americans suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Machado-Joseph disease. In this regard her research is a boon to the biophysical community, the wider medical community, and even the entire nation.” 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 3 months and 6 days.
