Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a co-director at a world-class academic and health care system from India working in the field of neuroscience. He had extensive experience in using animal models of disease for screening of novel therapeutics. 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 neuroscience, including at least 4 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, 7 abstract presentations, and a book chapter. His publications had been cited at least 41 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “. . . [client’s] research is at the forefront of progress in the treatment of neurodevelopmental diseases, and thus affects public health and productivity in the United States and other countries around the world.” 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 7 weeks.
