Case Summary:
A postdoctoral scholar based in California hired our law firm (WeGreened.com) to support him in composing an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition to represent his case. Our client with a Ph.D. in Clinical Proteomics and vast knowledge in the field of biotechnology intended to continue his research on examining the molecular mechanisms behind cancer, chronic inflammation diseases, and reproduction-related pathologies to identify and develop more effective markers and treatments, signifying its great importance because it relates to several key health concerns that pose a substantial threat to public wellbeing around the world.
Therefore, our able attorneys commenced gathering more information related to our client’s area of study to build a convincing case on his behalf. After we accumulated a good wealth of information that could lead our client to the national interest waiver, we added the following data in our petition packet intending to prove how our client’s research continuation holds a significant impact on the United States and is thus pressing health concerns for the nation.
Primarily, we discussed his research work along with the 41 citations gathered from the 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored and 2 of them co-first-authored) he published. We observed that there are rigorous requirements for having work published in academic journals, and our client’s consistent record of publication in top venues is, therefore, a testament to the substantiality of his research, which is one of the biggest signs of success in the scientific community is one’s history of authorship.
Also, he is an active member of the scientific community as a peer reviewer for highly acclaimed journals and has already conducted reviews, proving his glorified standing in the field. Besides, we noted the national importance of his research as it has been supported with funding grants from the Italian Space Agency and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Recognition from these publicly-funded research organizations and federal agencies confirms that his work applies to the advancement of his field and improving public health in the United States.
Moreover, his expertise and experience have also been acknowledged through his appointment to leadership positions within the field, including his position on the editorial board as a sectional editor, a guest editor, and served as for Antioxidants. Given the considerable expert understanding required to fulfill such positions, it is evident that his execution of these responsibilities reflects his vital role in the field of biotechnology. These aforementioned facts have been corroborated further by his fellow experts as well.
“[Client’s] research is directly aligned with the interests of the United States. One reason for this is that it applies to improving fertility...The ability to research this caliber shows that his work is capable of addressing some of the most pressing health concerns in the United States.”
The above-mentioned excerpt is from one of the five letters of endorsement. We are glad that our team’s unique ways of devising petition packets once again bore great news. Our client achieved his EB-2 NIW petition approval after 9 months as we successfully convinced USCIS of our client’s work showcasing the national importance in improving the public health of the United States. We thank him for choosing us for his NIW application and coordinating throughout the process.
