Case Summary:
A research fellow from France hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him attain American permanent residency via EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Our client, who is engaged in the field of bioinformatics, develops mathematical models and software tools used in the analysis of genetic and biological data. His research results have directly contributed to the medical community’s ability to understand genetic information through improved methods of genetic analysis and improved pharmaceutical efforts to develop effective drug treatments for cancer patients.
As with all our I-140 cases, we carefully detailed our client’s research and proved its significance to the United States. In this case, we convinced the USCIS that our client’s pharmacogenomics research efforts are contributing to the United States’ growing genomics knowledge, which improves the medical community’s capacity to treat costly diseases. To further fortify our claim, we listed our client’s professional accomplishments: the 195 citations that his 8 publications had gathered, and evidence of his advanced degrees.
To further strengthen our client’s case, we encouraged him to reach out to other experts in his field to gather recommendation letters. One of these letters stated, “Based on his previous achievements and his current work I fully expect [Client] to continue making impactful contributions to anti-cancer research in the United States and continue serving the national interest in the future.”
Our client's I-140 was approved in 7 months and 25 days. While his I-140 was pending, he had filed I-485 applications for himself and his family using the I-485 Do-It-Yourself packet that we had shared with him, and they have all successfully received their green cards. We congratulate our client and we wish him the best with his continued studies.
