General Field: Auditory Neuroscience Position at the Time of Case Filing: Project Scientist National Origin: Ukraine Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: June 5, 2013 Processing Time: 5.5 months
Case Summary:
This client is a project scientist from Ukraine in the field of auditory neuroscience. His work has specifically focused in the areas of neuroscience of the human auditory system. Our client's successful research addresses some of the most pressing issues in the interactions between hair cells and sound; haring loss as a result of damage to he sensory receptors; and the mechanisms of sound transductions in the inner ear. In order to ensure the success of his case, we submitted extensive documentation of the client’s highly significant contributions to the field of auditory neuroscience, including at least 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and twenty-three presentations at national and international conferences and seminars. His publications have been cited at least 485 times by independent researchers from around the world. Additionally, our firm drafted and submitted several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field. One of the independent recommenders stated, “Without his expertise, the country’s study of the auditory system will greatly suffer and this will impact negatively on the lives of many people without the ability to hear.” With the strong petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, his NIW case was approved in 5.5 months.
