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 researcher from Togo, approached us to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver Petition) on her behalf.
She has completed her M.S. in developmental biology, and as an expert in the field of nutrition, her proposed endeavor is to develop approaches for characterizing the bioactive molecules in non-timber forest products that influence gene expression to explore the therapeutic applications of these products in diet-related chronic pathologies.
Therefore, to make a persuasive case in her favor, we included the following details in her petition packet:
- Her work has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (9 of them first-authored) and 1 first-authored peer-reviewed conference article.
- Her publications have been cited a total of 65 times, according to Google Scholar.
- She has even received 2 recommendation letters from fellow experts in her field of expertise. Out of those, one of the excerpts is mentioned below:
“…[Client] is a leading nutrition researcher, renowned for her pioneering work on edible insects as a sustainable food source. Her research, published in prestigious journals, demonstrates continuous benefits to the United States by tackling food security and environmental sustainability. Her innovative solutions contribute significantly to the field, making her an indispensable figure in advancing nutrition science and promoting global well-being.”
While these specific research contributions represent only a subset of our client’s most successful endeavors, these projects are indicative of the overall quality of her research and illustrate her particular expertise and ability to continue contributing significantly to her field and to advancing the proposed endeavor.
Her research has also been supported with funding from the International Foundation for Science. This funding supports projects that advance global science towards sustainable development. Therefore, our client’s research supports the exploration of sustainable food sources.
On that account, she received her NIW approval despite waiting for a longer period, but without any request for evidence [RFE]. We wish her good luck in her upcoming endeavor.
