North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Scientist from India in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her work has focused specifically on the investigation of the sequence-dependent electrostatics in DNA, and the effect of DNA lesions on DNA structure from a thermodynamic perspective. More recently, her work has been concerned with the formulation and delivery of pharmaceuticals. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Pharmaceutical Sciences, including 12 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 book chapter and numerous conference papers.Her publications had been cited at least 81 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.She is also active in the scientific community as a peer reviewer for several highly acclaimed journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Biopharmaceuticals are a rapidly growing industry that are internationally relevant because of their potential to provide real answers to crippling and otherwise lethal diseases. Consider also that they account for a massive amount of money in the global economy, and the US also has a high percentage of that market share, and it becomes imperative that researchers such as [client] are afforded their employment in this field. Her proven track record and her body of work, along with her technical skill in matters of biological analysis means she has many unique qualifications that make her an indispensable prospect in this field.” 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 5 months and 16 days.
