Success Stories: Our Firm Helped a Postdoctoral Researcher From Bangladesh Secure NIW Without RFE
Client’s Testimonial:
"It was an extensive journey and thanks a lot for helping me towards achieving this goal.”
On February 11th, 2020, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Molecular Medicine (Approval Notice).
General Field: Molecular Medicine
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher
Country of Origin: Bangladesh
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida
Approval Notice Date: February 11th, 2020
Processing Time: 16 months, 14 days
Case Summary:
With a doctoral degree in pathology and cell biology, a postdoctoral researcher from Bangladesh was a good fit for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). After a careful review of his credentials, we concluded that we could help him secure the national interest waiver, and these are the key points we focused on:
- We reviewed and accounted for our client’s work on the molecular pathways of cancer development. We demonstrated that his work is crucial to the US because by understanding the molecular mechanisms behind cancer, the scientific community is better equipped to develop treatments for it. His research particularly centers on breast cancer and preventing metastasis.
- We listed the 97 times his work was cited at the time of filing. We used this number to prove that our client’s publications are widely recognised and relied upon in the field of geotechnical engineering.
- Our client’s publication record was also noted: 7 peer-reviewed journal articles. As these papers were published in the field’s top journals, they reflected our client’s influence in the field.
- As with all our clients, we helped him select potential recommenders to support his case. Our client obtained four letters of recommendation, all from notable experts and influential researchers in the field. This is what one of them noted about our client and his work: “There is an obvious need for new cancer treatments not only to kill existing cancer cells but also to prevent the colonization of cancer cells in neighboring tissues (metastasis). [Client’s] work is invaluable in that it presents a new method of preventing metastasis.”
- We also listed the 13 times our client judged the work of his peers. As only top-level experts are invited to perform review work, our client’s review activity highlighted his important standing in the field.
