Success Stories: NAILG Successfully Supports Research Scientist Specializing in Analytical Chemistry’s NIW Petition Without any RFE Issuance

Client’s Testimonial:

“I had a very positive experience working with Chen Immigration (North America Immigration Law Group) for my I-140 NIW petition. I did not opt for premium processing, and my case was approved after 18.5 months, which was longer than the average processing time. When my case was delayed, the Chen team provided a professionally crafted inquiry message to USCIS, and my petition was approved about a month after the request was submitted. Their support during this phase was particularly reassuring. Another consistent strength of their service was their quick response time—I usually received detailed replies within 24 hours, which helped keep everything moving smoothly and reduced a lot of the stress associated with the petition. Overall, I found their service to be highly professional and responsive. I strongly recommend them to anyone pursuing an employment-based immigration petition, especially those facing longer-than-expected processing times.”

Case Summary:

As the demand for precise molecular analysis grows in biomedical science, one researcher has been making notable strides in developing innovative techniques that enhance our understanding of complex diseases. His work bridges analytical chemistry and human health, providing tools that accelerate research in neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Recognizing the national importance of his contributions, he sought the assistance of the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to file a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition.

Our team conducted a detailed review of his academic record, research achievements, and the significance of his ongoing work. Confident in the strength of his qualifications and the broader value of his research, we prepared a comprehensive petition that successfully secured USCIS approval.

Central to his proposed endeavor is the development of advanced bioanalytical chemistry techniques aimed at improving molecular characterization and expediting the drug discovery process. His research strengthens scientists’ capacity to investigate the biological processes that drive serious diseases, facilitating the creation of new therapies and enhancing quality control measures in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

To support the petition, we highlighted several key achievements:

● Publication of 17 peer-reviewed journal articles, including 9 as first author.
● A total of 229 citations to his work, reflecting his growing impact in the scientific community.
● Completion of at least 11 peer reviews, demonstrating his active engagement in maintaining the standards of his field.
● His research has also attracted funding from prestigious sources, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and Pfizer, confirming both the scientific relevance and the national interest of his work.

By presenting clear evidence of his contributions to both science and public health, our legal team demonstrated how his research supports national priorities and technological leadership. His NIW approval reflects both his excellence and the broader impact of his work.

At NAILG, we are proud to have guided him through this important milestone and look forward to seeing how his research continues to contribute to biomedical innovation and improved healthcare outcomes.
