Case Summary:

It is important to note, when filing any petition, the organization of evidentiary support must be completed with the utmost meticulousness. Over 40% of cases filed by Chen Immigration Law Associates are in response to RFEs (Request for Evidence) resulting from insufficient evidence or incorrect filing completed by other law firms or individuals themselves.

In this specific case, the legal services of Chen Immigration Law Associates were retained by a client who had unsuccessfully filed their EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on their own. After reviewing this client’s case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates helped him gather additional evidence and organize this evidence in the most efficient way possible in order to secure a swift approval.

In order to gather the best possible evidence reinforcing the national interest associated with this clients ongoing research, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates submitted five additional testimonial letters from independent experts, testifying to the substantial influence and specific field implementation and utilization of this client’s original research analyses in the national and international field of endeavor. This research; as noted by independent testimony, would affect the fields of economics and agriculture as a whole, as well as the emerging field of renewable energy—both through scientific advancements and data analysis contributions.

In addition to this important testimony, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates reinforced the intrinsic merit and national benefits associated with this client’s ongoing research in the field of Agricultural Economics by highlighting how these contributions have influenced United States policymakers, and have directly impacted an array of independent studies where researchers have utilized this client’s models in the advancement of their own findings in the international community of agriculture and economics.

Finally, to promote the adverse effects if a labor certification were required, we reinforced how the client’s specific prior achievements justify the projected future benefits. In this case, the client’s achievements and top-tier expertise prove he is destined to make significant contributions to his field of endeavor in the future. Furthermore, this client’s past accomplishments prove he is especially qualified to make substantial strides that are likely far greater than those of his peers. With this in mind, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates stressed that his outstanding level of productivity cannot be taken into consideration through a labor certification, and therefore required the granting of this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver).

Using this unique strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work towards the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on January 3rd, 2013, just 45 days after its filing.

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!
