Success Stories: A Field Application Scientist Conducting Biochemistry Research Secures NIW Approval in Just 4 Days with Our Diligent Petition Packet

Case Summary:     

With a Ph.D. in biochemistry and a wealth of expertise in the field, our client turned to the North America Immigration Law Group for assistance with his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to help him prepare a compelling case that highlighted his innovative work in developing protocols and tools for the purification and analysis of plasmid DNA and proteins. This vital research aims to eliminate the obstacles currently slowing down vaccine and antibody development in the biopharmaceutical sector, ultimately accelerating the pace of critical medical advancements.

Recognizing the significance of his contributions, we agreed to take his case and ensured that his NIW petition was comprehensive and impactful by incorporating essential details that underscored the importance of his work:

• The 9 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first- or co-first-authored), and 22 abstracts (13 of them first-authored), he published in no fewer than 2 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals.
• These publications accumulated a total of 92 citations, according to the Google Scholar tool.
• Due to his research’s clear national importance, it has been supported with funding from the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the National Research Foundation of Korea. Therefore, our client’s research indeed contributes to elevating national biosecurity in aquaculture, boosting the blue food sector and global standing in marine innovation.
• Moreover, we gathered two recommendation letters from other experts in the field, corroborating the importance of our client’s background and experience in more detail. One of them stated the following: –

“[Client] is an exceptional biochemistry researcher who is directly addressing these losses through the development and validation of plasma and serum samples to enhance biomarker development. His assays ensure the quality and stability of samples, thereby eliminating costly errors and advancing cancer research. As demonstrated in this letter, he has significantly advanced the field of biochemistry… His expertise in biochemical assay development and optimization, along with his contributions to enhancing preclinical research, positions him as a leader in the field and establishes his inherent value to the United States.”

We are appreciative that our dedicated team was able to assist our client in demonstrating the relevance of his research, which advances in cell and gene therapies and the U.S. DNA manufacturing market. He received his NIW approval just 4 days after filing his case, all thanks to USCIS’s premium processing service. This service allows for expedited processing of the case within 45 business days. We wish him the best in all his future endeavors and are delighted to have played a significant role in this success story.
