Success Story: I-140 NIW Approved in over 1 Month Without RFE for A Research Scientist from China
Client’s Testimonial:
“Overall, the service is great, thank you a lot. I appreciate that. Looking forward to the decision.”
On December 10th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Scientist in the Field of Biomedical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biomedical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scientist
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maine
Approval Notice Date: December 10th, 2025
Processing Time: 1 month and 23 days
Case Summary:
When a research scientist from China specializing in biomedical engineering approached our firm, we immediately recognized the transformative potential of their work in artificial intelligence-driven cardiovascular care. Drawing upon our proven track record of over 32,000 successful cases, we crafted a strategic I-140 NIW petition that achieved approval in less than 2 months without a Request for Evidence.
Strategic Framework
Our team positioned the client’s research, developing machine learning algorithms for Electronic Health Records to improve cardiovascular outcomes, within critical U.S. health priorities, including the Million Hearts initiative. We emphasized how this work addresses the hundreds of billions of dollars in annual costs associated with cardiovascular disease, affecting the nation.
Evidence Architecture
We documented a compelling scholarly record for this Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering: 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 first- or co-first-authored), 5 abstracts (3 first-authored), and 2 preprints (1 co-first-authored), accumulating 66 citations internationally. Critically, multiple publications ranked among the top 10-20% most-cited articles in their publication years. We highlighted competitive funding from the National Institutes of Health’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, establishing institutional validation of the research’s significance. Finally, the client’s work has been recognized by two expert recommendation letters. One has stated:
“[The Client]’s skills in developing machine learning algorithms, integrating electronic health record data, and validating predictive models have allowed [The Client] to make exceptional contributions to this project, and I look forward to our continued collaboration on this important work.”
Outcome
The swift approval reflects the resonance between exceptional scientific achievement and urgent national need. As this researcher continues to develop predictive analytics that will save lives and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease, we take pride in having removed bureaucratic barriers to such vital work. This is where individual brilliance meets collective benefit, one researcher’s journey advancing an entire nation’s well-being.
