The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Italy. Her work had centered on the development of novel assays to improve our understanding of the role of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in cancer predisposition. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and 13 presentations at national and international conferences and meetings. These publications had been cited at least 221 times at the time of case filingby independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. The significance of her work in the field was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[She] has made unique contributions to key research questions long vexing the fields of molecular genetics and breast cancer research. In particular, [she] has made critical advances towards the identification of pathogenic missense mutations in the BRCA2 gene that are responsible for breast and ovarian cancer, two of the leading cancer causes of death among women in the United States.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 27 days.
