New NIW Successful Stories (8)

Dr. Wu

Dr. Wu obtained his Ph.D. in cellular biology in a prestigious university here in US. His research focused on fundamental fields for cancer treatment.

Dr. Wu retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. His current research was evolving around finding inhibitors for tumor and/or metastasis suppressing functions in human breast cancer. Notwithstanding his extensive publication and active academic activities, we emphasized the great significance of his research regarding cancer treatment. In our petition, we demonstrated to the immigration officer three applications deriving from his fundamental research discoveries: 
1) They demonstrates an entirely new therapeutic regimen that may very likely to treat cancer patients;
2) They might suggest a novel molecular pathway involved in tumor suppression
3) They would lead to the design of promising novel anti-cancer agents.

In other words, we went all the way to show how novel and original his discoveries were and how much fundamental impact they would have on the cancer research. Moreover, we showed to the immigration officer that the magnitude of human and economic costs of cancer was enormous. Also we raised the seriousness of the health problem we were confronting: each year about hundreds of thousands of women in U.S. were diagnosed with breast cancer.

With our effective presentation and premium legal service, Dr. Wu’s petition was approved in March 3, 2006.

Dr. Gao
