Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Research in 1 month

Client's Testimonials:

Thank you [Chen Immigration and Law Associates] very much for your help! It was possible only because of you.


On July 26th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Research (Approval Notice)


General Field: Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Research Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher Country of Origin: India Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing:  Alabama Approval Notice Date: July 26, 2013 Processing Time:  1 month


Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral researcher from India working in the field of prostate and pancreatic cancer research.  His work had focused on the study of the transcription factor Myb and its role in the pathogenesis of both prostate and pancreatic cancers as well as on the importance of several microRNAs in the development of pancreatic cancer. 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 prostate and pancreatic cancer research, including at least 15 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 115 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Over the past several years, he has been part of important developments in the study of prostate cancer and melanoma research, including particularly strong work into the cellular origins of v-Myb oncogenes that led to a successful patent application. Given [client’s] high level of activity as well as his current research and duties reviewing the work of his peers, I can say with confidence that [client’s] important contributions to the cancer research community will only increase as he continues his research program.” 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 1 month.
