Success Story: EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for Postdoc Researcher in the field of Virology
On February 9th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoc Researcher in the field of Virology. (Approval Notice)
General Field: Virology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Post-doc researcher National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Processing Time: 8 months
Case Summary:
As National Interest Waiver is focused on proving that the petitioner/beneficiary has substantial achievements in the field of endeavor, citation number is important to have case approval. Therefore, it is challenging to procure EB-2 NIW case approvals for clients whose academic citation number is relatively low. When cases like these arise we use our best means to assure a case approval. In this case, the client only had 11 citations at the time of case filing.
We at Chen Immigration obtained the highest quality of witness letters to ensure a successful case. Obtaining letters from distinguished individuals who work in a related field of the client can provide evidence that their work has contributed to their discipline in areas that cannot be illustrated by a citation number alone. In this case, we proved that our client’s dual nature of work, both clinical and research that attuned to current trends in disease diagnosis and treatment, limited their time in the academia and publication realm, which in turn resulted in a swift case approval.
In addition, we at Chen Immigration Law emphasized that the clients’ work is 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 Virology through the letters of many distinguished industry experts across the medical and bio-medical 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 14th, 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!
