Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral research fellow from South Korea working in the field of electro-neurophysiology. Her work had focused specifically on optimized pain mechanisms. We demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her 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 electro-neurophysiology, including at least four peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 40 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of her independent recommenders remarked, “Not only is [client] making a substantial impact on her field, her research is offering new options for treatment, diagnosis, and prevention for the resulting pain stemming from a number of diseases and disorders. In reflection of these contributions it is abundantly clear that the furtherance of her research is crucial for ongoing advancements in this increasingly important field of endeavor.” Through extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in just 2 ½ months.
