Client’s Testimonial:

Wow. What?! Oh my god. It took less than a month?! Thank you so so much for your expert help! Thank you so much again! I will be sure to recommend your firm to my friends.

On August 14th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a PhD Student in the field of Cellular and Molecular Medicine in Only 3 Weeks (Approval Notice)

General Field: Cellular and Molecular Medicine Position at the Time of Case Filing: PhD Student Country of Origin: Korea Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maryland Approval Notice Date: August 14, 2013 Processing Time: 3 weeks

Case Summary: The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a PhD student from Korea working in the field of cellular and molecular medicine. Her work had particularly focused on developing innovative methods for identifying new biomarkers for the advanced detection of various cancers, novel drug targets for the clinical treatment of cancers, and the elucidation of the specific cellular mechanisms of carcinogenesis, leading to the improved diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of a wide range of cancers that so significantly affect the United States. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of cellular and molecular medicine, including at least 10 peer-reviewed journal articles and 3 conference abstracts and presentations. Her publications had been cited at least 146 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Her research is providing new and viable methods to prevent cancer cells' resistance to treatment and to detect colorectal and esophageal cancers in their early stages, which are of interest to both the United States and the world as a whole.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in just 3 weeks.
