Case Summary:
In this case, the exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Taiwan working in the field of molecular biology. His work had largely focused on the development of AIDS treatments through the creation of novel gene therapy methodologies and the development of original gene delivery vehicles. His work results in increased understanding with regard to the intricate biology associated with the continuous immune activation of HIV-1 infected patients, and consequently, this understanding results in the improvement of HIV infection therapy options. We demonstrated that the benefit of his continued employment in the field would extend beyond those in his field to the citizens of the United States at large. We submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of molecular biology, including at least 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and a conference poster presentation. His publications had been cited at least 66 times at the time of case filing; this clearly demonstrated that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his field. The immense value of his work is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “Taken as a whole, [his] work has significantly advanced the evolution of new protocols and new therapeutics. Moreover, by furthering the understanding of enveloped viruses and their associated pathways, [his] work encourages a wide range of medical and biochemical research, and has optimally positioned him to make important advances in the fight against HIV/AIDS.” Supported by the extensive documentation that we submitted, we were able to successfully argue 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 in less than 4 months.
