In this specific case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates developed a unique strategy tailored specifically for this client to prove: (1) this client’s employment is in an area of substantial intrinsic merit; (2) the proposed benefit of this client’s current work is national in scope and; (3) the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required.

As this client had conducted successful research pressing issues related to disease prevention and control, it was crucial to highlight her numerous achievements including the advancements of virological science and its practical application to disease control and prevention. In order to accomplish this task, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted with the drafting of six recommendation letters on behalf of experts in associated fields of endeavor, to provide testimony associated with this client’s achievements.

In addition to this evidence, it was important to highlight this client’s qualifications established through her advanced degrees in Medical Science and Molecular Genetics completed at top tier universities.

As she had conducted critical research on virus-induced tumorgenic pathways, encapsidation of adenovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV) genome packaging, and enterovirus morphogenesis, we reinforced these contributions through testimony provided by the aforementioned six recommendation letters.
