Case Summary:
In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist from Taiwan. His work had focused specifically on anticancer therapeutic development. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 10 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 60 times at the time of case filing; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work in the field was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] has been able to add a significant amount of knowledge to the investigation of pancreatic cancer. I feel that it is safe to say that I strongly believe that [he] is soon going to find a way to prevent pancreatic cancer, which will lead to other vast discoveries about cancer prevention.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 5 months and 21 days.
