On March 1st, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Bioinformatics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Bioinformatics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Missouri
Approval Notice Date: March 1st, 2025
Processing Time: 2 months, 3 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
We’re proud to share the NIW petition approval for a PhD holder working at the intersection of computational biology, comparative genomics, and machine learning. Filed with premium processing, the petition was approved just over two months later, reflecting both the scientific importance of the work and the strength of the petition.
The client’s research focuses on using evolutionary theory and bioinformatics to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind global health threats, including viral and bacterial infections, plant pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance. By developing novel computational tools, she provides actionable insights into critical biological systems. Her methods have advanced understanding of pathogens such as SARS-related viruses, contributing to improved detection and prevention strategies.
At the time of filing, the client had authored 14 peer-reviewed publications and 1 preprint, four of which rank among the top 10% most-cited articles in molecular biology for their publication years. Her work has accrued 175 citations and received strong validation from peers, with other researchers incorporating her findings into studies of viral immune evasion, bacterial toxins, and cultivation of difficult pathogens. She has also participated in peer review activities for scientific journals, confirming her standing in the field.
The petition presented clear evidence of her scholarly impact, her alignment with nationally identified critical technologies, and her capacity to further U.S. public health and biotechnology goals. Her planned future research includes developing machine learning models for antibiotic resistance prediction and advancing genomic analysis platforms for disease prevention.
With this approval, our team celebrates another milestone in supporting talented scientists whose work addresses some of the most pressing biomedical and agricultural challenges of our time.
