Case Summary

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an assistant research scientist with a focus on the sub-field of tumor microenvironments. This client contributed towards the research of hypoxic cancer cells and how they conserve energy in order to survive, while also studying how this cancer grows with an absence of oxygen. More recently, he created a mouse model in order to further study tumor microenvironments. The aforementioned research resulted in 7 journal articles, which had been cited 37 times at the time of filing this case, clearly demonstrating that researchers in the field of cancer biology rely on his research findings. In addition, this client served as a manuscript reviewer for 1 prestigious journal, having reviewed two papers. One independent recommender testified: “The ways in which [Client’s] work can benefit and has benefitted the United States almost do not need to be stated. A new cancer drug that successfully targets cancer cells without affecting normal cells will boost the U.S. economy through its manufacture and sale, as well as the country’s leadership status in cancer research and science. Indeed, 70% of all research and development in biotechnology currently takes place in the U.S., and [Client’s] work will help the nation sustain or increase that rate. But most of all, the totality of [Client’s] research has already helped doctors treat cancer, a leading cause of death in the U.S., more effectively. The value of that accomplishment is all too obvious.” This EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition received approval after 3 months, 7 days.
