Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a research from Taiwan working in the field of biomedical engineering. This client wished to continue his research dedicated to the intervertebral Disc (IVD), the largest avascular and cartilaginous tissue in the body. IVD degeneration has been implicated as a major process responsible for lower back pain in humans. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of biomedical engineering, including 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and one conference presentation. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[The Petitioner’s] significant contributions will help ease the suffering of millions if he is able to continue down the research path he is currently on.  Of this I have no doubt.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in 76 days.
