The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work in this case was a pharmacognostic researcher from China. His work had focused specifically on categorizing, analyzing, and developing new drugs and dietary supplements from natural sources. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 book chapter. His publications had been cited at least 47 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “[Client’s] work is important in and of itself, simply because it offers great health benefits at reduced developmental and production costs, when compared on the whole with pharmaceuticals of non-natural origin. These benefits are sorely needed in a world where the best and least expensive products provide the greatest utility to economies and human populations.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client 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 1 day.
