Success Story: EB-2 NIW Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Biomedical Engineering

Client’s Testimonial:

I have worked with [Chen Immigration Team] for my Eb2-NIW application in 2013 and it was a great success, we were approved in only 45 days. I am impressed by the level of profession and passion of [Chen Immigration Team]. They took effort to understand my work with extensive depth and thus were able to provide a powerful petition letter with both precise description of my research and strong argument of my potential value as a US resident, which lead to our success. Throughout the collaboration, they are very patient with my schedule, and always responded in a timely manner. In addition, [Chen Immigration Team] has been very helpful and patient to answer all my questions, which facilitated a lot of the work on my side. Overall, I am very thankful for their help on my case, and I would recommend [Chen Immigration Team] with no to my friends and any potential personals.

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral fellow from China working in the field of biomedical engineering. His work had focused specifically on optimizing and utilizing advanced methods of cancer cell imaging, primarily for the purpose of imaging breast cancer cells. 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 at least 14 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 112 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[The client] is one of the most ambitious and talented cancer researchers in the world. Though he has only been publishing work since 2007, he has already made some of the most major contributions to cancer research (particularly breast cancer research) that have arisen during that time span.” 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 just 45 days.
