Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a Research Technologist from India working in the field of neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility. Her work focused on the effects of chronic stress on functional gastrointestinal disorders and behavioral neuroendocrinology. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her 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 neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility, including at least 18 peer-reviewed articles published in leading journals in the field, 16 workshops or poster presentations and the co-authoring of a text book. These publications had been cited at least 126 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “The significance of [client’s] studies cannot be understated (sic). As a colorectal surgeon, I deal with a spectrum of patients suffering from gastrointestinal disorders on a daily basis for which a permanent therapy is yet to be developed due to the lack of cellular understanding of the mechanisms involved. [Client’s] breakthrough studies on the cellular and molecular effects of chronic and acute stress on gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders and the role played by neuropeptides like oxytocin and corticotropin releasing hormone provide novel insights into the disease process and the cellular mechanisms.” 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. Her NIW application was approved in 5 ½ months.
