Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Research Assistant in Canada in the Field of Biophotonics
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for the help. I am certainly recommending you to everyone.
On January 20th, 2015, We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Research Assistant in the Field of Biophotonics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Canada
Approval Notice Date: January 20th, 2015
Processing Time: 9 Months, 13 Days (Including RFE Response Time)
The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research Assistant from Iran. Her work has focused specifically on the development of novel polarized light-based medical imaging techniques and applying those techniques to new and effective diagnostic strategies for urological and other biological disorders in medical patients. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. Her publications had been cited at least 55 times at the time we filed the case; 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “BRLs are electrically pumped lasers that are used for the nonlinear frequency generation of light. [Client’s] was the first study to comprehensively elucidate and quantify the various properties of these lasers, specifically their gain and quantum efficiency, temperature dependence, transparency current density, and more. All this information is helpful to scientists in optimizing their BRL-based activities.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 9 months and 13 days.
