These accomplishments affirm both the innovation and the impact of his contributions, with his methods and findings widely adopted by other researchers.

NIW Approval and Outlook
USCIS granted approval after recognizing the client’s significant accomplishments and the national importance of his proposed endeavor. With NAILG’s support, the petition successfully demonstrated that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements is in the best interest of the United States. This approval enables him to continue advancing genetic testing technologies that will drive progress in precision medicine, improving healthcare outcomes and strengthening the nation’s leadership in biomedical innovation.
