Success Stories: We Helped a Researcher from China in the Field of Developmental Biology Achieve NIW Approval Without Any Request for Evidence [RFE], Thanks to Our Team’s Efforts
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much along the way!”
On March 6th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Researcher in the Field of Developmental Biology (Approval Notice).
General Field: Developmental Biology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Utah
Approval Notice Date: March 6th, 2025
Processing Time: 10 months, 4 days
Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in oncological sciences and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of developmental biology. When she contacted our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf, we delved more into her degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating her credentials, we established that we would lead her to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.
We intended to prove that she is an essential researcher in her field of developmental biology, therefore, we added essential attributes to her NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. We noted that her work:
- Cited 625 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that her publications are widely recognized and relied upon in her chosen field.
- Her contributions to peer-reviewed conference articles resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 abstract, 1 co-first-authored accepted abstract, and 2 preprints (1 of them first-authored).
- She has completed at least 70 reviews to date.
- Her work has been supported by funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP), and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).
Additionally, her work on examining the spatial arrangement of DNA in vertebrate embryos has advanced the field and the work of her peers by uncovering DNA organization processes and demonstrating that epigenetic modification impacts high dimensional structure formation and gene expression, which acts as a valuable observation regarding how regulatory networks work during early embryogenesis. Consequently, this work represents progress toward her larger goal of advancing the use of advanced techniques to isolate stem cells from gonad, study epigenetics dynamics during gametogenesis to reveal aging and disease-related abnormalities, and identify treatment candidates for infertility.
Thus, our client’s education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that she is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in her field of expertise make her an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, she received her NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval despite waiting for a very long time. Therefore, we thank her for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent her case and wish her well as she continues to advance in her proposed field.
