New NIW Successful Stories (33)

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. in Microbiology from a prestigious institution in China. During his Ph.D. studies, he made original and significant achievements in the study of antibiotics biosynthesis. He came to the United States to continue his advanced research as a post-doctoral researcher in a couple of universities. 

He retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. Our attorneys strongly demonstrated how substantial intrinsic merit Dr. Lee’s field has and how the proposed benefit of his work is national in scope. Since his research involves tons of technical and scientific terms and concepts, our attorneys simply analogized his work in biosynthesis of anti-tumor antibiotics with the last century breakthrough in discovery of penicillin. By this way, the immigration examiner would easily understand the great significance of Dr. Lee’s research in terms of national interest.

Also, we used independent advisory opinion from a distinguished scholar in the same research field, who only learned about Dr. Lee’s accomplishments from reading his journal articles. That independent opinion substantially supplemented other recommendation letters written by Dr. Lee’s colleagues or chair of his department.

Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was submitted in December 28, 2005 and was approved on January 26, 2006, less than 30 days. 

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee obtained his Master’s degree in Korea and went to US for further study. After obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Science in a prestigious eastern University, he worked for a southern university as an assistant professor. His current research focuses on Nano technology research. 

He retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. Our attorneys carefully organized his petition package and argued that various leading researchers in his field wrote support letters testifying that Dr. Lee is among the elite researchers in his specialized field. Our legal team also emphasized to the immigration officer that Dr. Lee’s research helped to design and develop technologies for use in the medical, communications, security and environmental industries, key sectors for the national economy and security.  Our team further showed that his research field, Nano technology, represented the future of technological innovation in computers, medicine, defense systems and energy production and distribution and it has the potential of becoming a $1 trillion global market in a little more 10 years.

With our well-organized presentation and thrilling forecast for the bright future, Dr. Lee’s petition process was very smooth. We submitted Dr. Lee’s petition on December 7, 2005; on January 27, 2006, the petition was approved.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee, came to the US as a graduate student from Malaysia six years ago. She obtained her MS and PhD in Computer Science from a prestigious western university. Her research concentrated on information visualization. During her graduate studies, she published 10 articles in scholarly journals of international circulation, in 8 of which she was the first author. Now she is working for a major US company as a researcher. 

When she retained our firm for her NIW petition, she was still in her twenties. In her petition, our legal team demonstrated that her research work had impacted numerous prestigious institutions in that those institutions applied his recent work in classroom teaching for advanced-level classes; furthermore, a number of major U.S. companies had put her research in practice. We showed to the immigration officer that her discoveries were instrumental in research advancements in their respective application areas, such as bio-medical science, computer security, and internet stability, the vital sectors for US national economy and interest. We further estimated that her work in computer security and internet stability was worth billions of dollars to our nation's commercial interests and valuable for our government's national security, educational and scientific interest.

We submitted Dr. Lee ’s NIW petition last year. Due to our convincing arguments, Dr. Lee’s petition was approved in early February this year.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee obtained his Ph.D. degree in Biology from India. Upon graduation, he was recruited by a prestigious university research center in U.S. His research specialized in molecular biology, molecular genetics and neurobiology.

Dr. Lee retained our firm for his NIW petition. Our attorney helped him to navigate through the complex preparation before submitting the petition. During this process, we found that he could obtain two very strong independent advisory opinions from scientists who had not worked with him before. The independent references learned about Dr. Lee’s achievements by reading many of his articles published on peer-reviewed journals.

In our petition, we also emphasized Dr. Lee’s current research targeting a specific syndrome, in which he discovered a new mechanism, having significant implications for the development of clinical interventions in the field of neurobiology. We emphasized his ground-breaking research and suggested that it provided new methods and tools to further the advanced study in his area. We strongly demonstrated to the immigration officer that Dr. Lee’s work would have fundamental impact on the neurobiology.

We submitted Dr. Lee’s NIW petition September 27, 2005. Less than 4 months, his petition was approved.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee obtained his Ph.D. in biology from a prestigious American university. Upon graduation, he joined a research team in a medical center as a postdoctoral researcher. Most of his research focuses on cancer treatment.

He retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. Our attorneys carefully analyze his academic achievements and designed a successful petition package for him. In our petition, we explained to the immigration officer that Dr. Lee’s invaluable research concerned activating human immune system's "natural killer" cells to quickly hunt down and assassinate three forms of blood system cancers: Leukemia, Lymphoma and Melanoma. We argued that his research in “natural killer” cells to cure cancer not only benefited cancer patients, but also enhanced the competitiveness of American pharmaceutical companies in the global medicine and drug market.

We also emphasized his other contributions. For instance, he brought his strong molecular biology laboratory skills to several NIH-funded projects and made landmark progresses. His articles have been cited by 20 times in various journals from 9 countries.

We submitted Dr. Lee ’s NIW petition December 8, 2005. On March 31, 2006, the petition was approved.
