Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for an Immunology Postdoctoral Fellow in 5 Weeks
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for your help. It was faster than I expected.
On July 1, 2013, we received another EB2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Immunology (Approval Notice)
General Field: Immunology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow National Origin: Taiwan Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: North Carolina Approval Notice Date: July 1, 2013 Processing Time: 5 weeks
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.
This client is a postdoctoral fellow from Taiwan in the highly specialized and increasingly important field of immunology. Her work is focused specifically on the significance of T cell receptors in immune-related disease and how the repertoire of a T cell receptor is generated during T lymphocyte development. In order to ensure the success of this case, we submitted extensive documentation of the client’s highly significant contributions to the field of immunology, including her authorship of 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles (3 of which are first-authored) published in leading immunology journals. Furthermore, her publications have been cited a total of 328 times by independent international researchers. Our firm drafted and submitted several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field. One of the independent recommenders noted, “In my judgment, [the Petitioner] is one of the most gifted research scientists of her generation, standing in a league of her own as exemplified by her extraordinary laboratory expertise and innovative research that has yielded hitherto unknown breakthroughs and has fundamentally expanded the knowledge-base of these fields.” Our client wished to continued employment in the field of immunology and with the strong petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, her NIW case was approved in just 5 weeks.
