Case Summary:
With a doctorate in chemistry and ample experience in the field of biophysical chemistry, our client (a postdoctoral research associate from Sri Lanka) was a suitable candidate for the national interest waiver. When he approached us to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we meticulously evaluated his credentials to confirm if we could build a strong case for him. After determining that we could, we initiated the attorney-client relationship and got to work building a solid case for our client.
Our client’s notable publication record made it simple for us to demonstrate to the USCIS that his research efforts have led to important findings. We highlighted the 6 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference presentations in his name as well as the 28 times his work was cited by other researchers. Furthermore, we detailed his investigations on Alzheimer’s disease, cell death, and smart polymers, and proved to the USCIS that his work is beneficial to the US. In a nutshell, we established that our client’s research results have directly contributed to the advancement of widespread public health. Additionally, his research efforts are contributing to the United States’ long-term sustainability and energy independence.
In a bid to further fortify our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, we incorporated recommendation letters provided by six other experts working in the field. According to one of them: “The worth of [Client’s] work far surpasses its value to one individual scientific subfield. Whether facilitating new job growth or improving national health, [Client] has made his mark on the medical and conservation communities. Not only has he furthered scientific research, but his work’s practicality has directly influenced the lives of average Americans across the country.”
We are pleased that our hard work paid off and that our client secured an NIW petition approval. As the cherry on top of the cake, our client obtained his green card with the help of our D.I.Y. Packet. We join him as he celebrates this momentous milestone and thank him for working with North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com).
