Case Summary:
“[The client] is at the forefront of an important and fast-paced field, having made great strides that have been widely lauded by her peers. Based on the information outlined in this letter, [the client] is beyond any reasonable doubt a valuable scholar to have been operating in the United States.”
When a recommender appreciates, in such clear terms, the value of another expert, it is significant, because it establishes the expert as a leading force in their area of study. This angle is often used by our expert team to indicate the immanent value of a client’s research in any field.
Just so, when an assistant clinical professor in the field of vision science wanted to file her NIW or National Interest Waiver petition, we did a thorough background check and looked at the recommendation letters she had received. One such example of a testimonial is given above.
We soon found that she hailed from China and her proposed endeavor was to continue her research on the development of improved diagnostic tools and new treatment methods for common retinal diseases, including those that cause blindness and visual impairment. Her research was clearly of great importance because it addressed the urgent need to treat blindness and visual impairment around the world.
As an expert in vision science, she was pursuing Ph.D. while filing for her NIW visa with us. Our team utilized every bit of information found in her documents to convince the adjudicating authorities of the valuable contributions she had made to her arena of expertise. Some of the highlights are:
- Due to its clear national importance, her research has been supported with funding from 4 renowned institutions around the world such as the National Eye Institute (NEI), which is a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
- Her research has resulted in 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored) published in well-known scientific journals already.
- These publications have also been cited a total of 24 times according to Google Scholar.
These pieces of information were enough to prove that her work on the development of improved diagnostic tools and new treatment methods for common retinal diseases was indeed of significant value to the United States. This is what led the adjudicating authorities to approve her petition without an RFE. We are glad to have had the opportunity to help her in the process and we thank her for the trust she placed in our firm.
