Case Summary:

We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com were happy to represent a postdoctoral research scientist in the field of DNA Nanotechnology and Drug Development. Before filing his EB-2 NIW  petition, he had created a scaffold to study dysiherbaine synthesis, along with the dysiherbaine analogues. Additionally, the client had used organic-inorganic junctions in order to research the self-assembly of triangular DNA. Furthermore, this client’s work had resulted in 5 journal articles which had been cited 56 times at the time his case was filed. These citations clearly demonstrated that researchers in the field rely on this client’s work. One of the three independent recommenders asserted: “[Client’s] work promises to revolutionize the way that scientists design catalysts, electronic devices, memory-storage devices, drug delivery mechanisms, chemical sensors, and protein- mimicking molecules…[Client] as a young scientist shows an extraordinary level of knowledge and skills that surpasses his peers. His presence in the United States will not only constitute an invaluable asset to the field of bionanotechnology, but also substantially benefit our country in its global competitiveness in science and technology.” This EB-2 NIW  petition was approved 3 months, 27 days after filing.
