This time we were given the opportunity to work with an oncologist from China specializing in the formulation of groundbreaking new treatment strategies for cancer. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 12 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as1 book chapter and numerous presentations at national and international conferences - a body of work that had received 289 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “[Client] is at the forefront of cancer research with his innovative approaches to the development of targeted molecular therapies for many deadly malignancies including melanomas, as well as mesotheliomas and hepatocellular carcinomas and lung cancers that affect hundreds of thousands of American citizens each year.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 8 months and 14 days.
