Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Research Fellow in the field of Otolaryngology in 6 weeks
Client’s Testimonial:
I was referred to Chen Immigration Associates by a friend who had gotten her Green Card through their firm. When I first approached them, I was felt immediately welcomed and received plenty of accurate and honest information. I did my search and looking at their track of success made me confident to choose them for my NIW petition. They exactly provided me with the help and information they promised. Always on time and always supporting. Once I started my petition with them, my case was not a very strong one, but with their help I was able to get my case approved within 41 days without any request for evidence. All in all, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Ms. Chen and all their coworkers. I recommend Chen Immigration Associates to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy firm. Without their help, I would never have been able to get my green card.

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a research fellow from Iran working in the field of otolaryngology. His research had focused specifically on the epidemiology and treatment of hearing-loss and tinnitus. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of otolaryngology, including at least 23 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, a book chapter, and 30 conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 23 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[The discoveries made by [client’s] research have provided new avenues to approach the treatment of hearing-loss and tinnitus-sufferers who have been under the radar. [. . .] with the goal of making otolaryngology more accessible, [client] has introduced new diagnostic web-based tools and therapeutic software to reach today’s technologically adept young people. [. . .] [client’s] fundamental studies characterizing present challenges in otolaryngology have galvanized practitioners and brought at-risk patient populations to the attention of researchers and practitioners. [Client’s] work has produced not only new treatment modalities but a nationwide profile of actual and potential hearing-loss sufferers for other researchers and practitioners to inaugurate inquiries based on his primary findings.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved just 6 weeks.
