Case Summary:
An I-140 NIW(National Interest Waiver) case demands applicants to show how their credentials and work are relevant to the U.S. and if they are equipped to deal with future challenges in the chosen area of study. Our team at NAILG has done this for thousands of clients over the years and that is what we were able to do for an expert in the field of biotechnologies hailing from Jordan. Our team noted the following information and used them to write her petition:
- Her proposed endeavor is to continue her investigation of the underlying mechanisms of complicated metabolic diseases in order to discover novel therapeutic agents and her work is of great importance because it provides the foundation for the development of more effective therapeutics for metabolic diseases.
- Her research supplies the fundamental physiological discoveries that are necessary to drive innovation in this market and improve outcomes for the exorbitant patient population. So her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States where according to the CDC, more than 41% of people in the U.S. are obese.
- Due to its clear national importance, her research has in fact been supported with funding from the Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, which is one of the federal Alzheimer’s Disease Centers, and the Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center.
- Due to her knowledge and expertise in endocrinology, metabolic homeostasis, and neuroendocrinology, she has been regularly invited to conduct peer reviews for a well-known journal in her area of interest.
- Her research has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and a book chapter that has been cited a total of 365 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biotechnologies.
- We also found that she has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor of investigating the underlying mechanisms of complicated metabolic diseases for 15 years.
