Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for a Bioinformatics Specialist from China in the Field of Bioinformatics
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much for your great help. Wegreened is very professional and responsible for my case.”
On January 30th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Bioinformatics Specialist in the Field of Bioinformatics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Bioinformatics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Bioinformatics Specialist
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois
Approval Notice Date: January 30th, 2025
Processing Time: 9 months, 12 days
Case Summary:
Based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most up-to-date winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take. However, there are certain prerequisites to be fulfilled by an individual including:
- The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
- The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
- A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.
Our client, a bioinformatics specialist from China, approached us to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver Petition) on his behalf.
He has completed his Ph.D. in biological sciences and as an expert in the field of bioinformatics, his proposed endeavor of using NGS data to provide solutions to complex biological problems and improve molecular diagnostics in plant diseases and cancer has both substantial merit and national importance. Therefore, to make a persuasive case in his favor, we included the following details in his petition packet:
- His work has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored).
- His publications have been cited a total of 197 times according to Google Scholar.
- His research has been supported with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). These funds are reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including studies that advance science, address societal challenges in agriculture, and improve dental, oral, and craniofacial health while contributing to national well-being.
- He has received 2 letters of recommendation from fellow experts in his field of expertise.
Furthermore, his work on plant defense mechanisms has advanced the field and the work of his peers by elucidating the role of the HEN3 gene in regulating NPR1 protein degradation and nuclear translocation. Consequently, this work represents progress toward his larger goal of advancing molecular diagnostics in plant diseases and cancer.
On that account, he received his NIW approval in around 9 months and 12 days with our team’s efforts without any RFE issuance. We are pleased to have been a part of his success story and would like to wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors..
