Case Summary:

As a firm that prides itself in its work, we at Chen Immigration make it our goal to achieve as close to 100% approval rating for our clients’ cases. For EB-2 NIW cases we do this by highlighting our clients’ main contributions in their academic field of study and to the nation in general. One of the main factors that determine the success of a case is the client’s letters of recommendations. In this case we illustrated that our client was an exceptional research scientist and that they exhibited indisputable evidence to which they should be allowed to continue their research in the United States.

In this case we worked directly with the client to first prove that this client was seeking employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. As an advanced degree holder in the areas of Biophysics, we highlighted this client’s exceptional research along with other notable past work such as contributing as an author to two books. Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates included detailed discussion of the published works associated with this client’s research. Specifically, we highlighted the number of peer-reviewed scientific articles this petitioner had written (17), and the exceptionally high impact these works have had on the scientific community gathering a citation record of at least 375 citations by prestigious institutions both nationally and internationally.

In addition, in order to provide evidence that this client was “seeking employment in area of substantial intrinsic merit,” we at Chen Immigration Law Associates emphasized that the clients’ work was national in scope, and that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required. Specifically, we illustrated the client’s exceptional experience in the field of Biophysics through the letters of many distinguished industry experts across the Biophysics research community.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on February 4th 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
