New NIW Successful Stories (35)

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee has extensive research experience in the field of biomedical research, especially in the field of tuberous sclerosis (TSC). Tuberous sclerosis is a multi-system genetic disease that causes benign tumors to grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as kidneys, heart, eyes, lungs and skin. Dr. Lee is an advanced degree professional in this field by virtue of his Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience he obtained from a top American university.

In early 2006, Dr. Lee retained our office for his NIW petition. Our experienced attorneys put emphasis of his petition on his research field. Dr. Lee works in the field of biomedical research, especially in the area of tuberous sclerosis syndrome research. This field has substantial intrinsic merit for its role in finding the cure for tuberous sclerosis disease. In the United States, one out of every 6000 newborn children is diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. TSC often affects the central nervous system development of newborns. Unfortunately, more than 50 of affected children will be mentally retarded and about 25% will develop autism. However, there are very few treatment options available presently and the pathology behind this disease is still not well understood. Dr. Lee’s research will have numerous widespread benefits for the nation’s health and the society at large. We also submitted the documents proving Dr. Lee’s outstanding research abilities and 8 recommendation letters from the experts in Dr. Lee’s research field, two of which are independent advisories.

We submitted Dr. Lee’s petition in March, 2006 and it was approved in August, 2006.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee is a scientist with multiple academic degrees and extensive experience in the field of fungal biology and molecular plant pathology.  Dr. Lee received a Ph. D. and M.S in Microbiology from one of the best universities in Korea, and went on to a postdoctoral research position at a top research institution in the U.S. 

Dr. Lee retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. Our elite legal team reviewed his academic record carefully and designed a customized application package for him. Dr. Lee’s research is currently focused on the molecular mechanism of wheat infection by Fusarium graminearum which is a fungus causing wheat scab disease, and the disease is a concern of national importance.  Hence, we emphasized to the immigration officer that Dr. Lee’s research had direct application for the US agriculture industry.

In Dr. Lee’s petition letter, our attorneys claimed that his work would have significant impact on his field. This claim was well supported by his 8 published articles in top journals and the strong recommendation letters from 7 leading scholars and researchers, including 2 independent evaluators.

With our premium service in Dr. Lee’s NIW petition, his petition was filed in April 2006 and approved in July.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee obtained her Ph.D. in pathology & pathophysiology from a top university in northern China. She has extensive research experience in the interdisciplinary field comprised of pathophysiology, pathology and neuroscience. Her research is to understand the fundamental mechanisms related to Alzheimer’s Diseases, thrombosis and skeletal fluorosis. Dr. Lee’s accomplishments in her research projects distinguished her from her peers and she became a research fellow at the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy of the Medicine School of a prestigious US university. 

At the end of 2005, Dr. Lee retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for her NIW petition. In the well-designed petition package for her, our experienced legal team fully demonstrated Dr. Lee’s outstanding research achievement by well documented materials. We emphasized her 19 peer-reviewed journal articles and one book chapter that she had authored and published. We indicated that her publications in China have been cited 26 times by other researchers. We also submitted letters of support from the research community, leading researchers in her field, etc. throughout the United States testifying that Dr. Lee is among the elite researchers in her specialized field. To meet the prong of serving national interest, our attorney explained to the immigration officers with strong evidences that Dr. Lee’s specific prior achievements justified the projected future benefits to the whole US society. Her possession of unique and innovative skills, knowledge and background are of critical national importance.

With our convincing and impressive presentation to the immigration officer, Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was quickly approved within 4 months after being filed on April 10, 2006. 

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee obtained his Ph.D. in medicinal and natural product chemistry from a prestigious Chinese university. Upon graduation, he came to the US to serve as a postdoctoral researcher at one of the most famous universities, where he had dedicated his efforts to discovering anti-cancer and anti-obesity plant-derived medications.

Dr. Lee retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his NIW petition. Our elite legal team reviewed his academic record carefully and designed a perfect package for him. In Dr. Lee’s petition, our attorneys claimed that Dr. Lee’s work has had a considerable impact in his field. This can be seen by the applications of his research in diverse fields, from anti- cancer to anti-obesity therapeutics. Besides, our attorneys also claimed that Dr. Lee’s work would have significant impact on his field with his eight published first author and sixteen co-authored articles in top journals and academic conferences. In his application, we also enclosed strong recommendation letters from six leading scholars and researchers in his field. 

With our premium service, Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was filed in March 2006 and approved three months later, in July 2006.

Dr. Lee obtained his M.S. in Analytical Chemistry from a well-known University in China and his Ph.D. in chemistry from a prestigious university in the US.
 
Dr. Lee retained Zhang & Associates, P.C. for his EB-1(a) petition. Our elite legal team reviewed his academic record carefully and designed a perfect package for him.

In Dr. Lee’s petition, our attorneys claimed that Dr. Lee is a researcher of extraordinary ability in the field of analytical chemistry research, particularly focusing on spectroscopy, chemometrics and surface adsorption kinetics. The extraordinary nature of Dr. Lee’s research is evident in its diverse applications especially with regard to generating scientific advances in the design and development of more effective and safer technologies for the storage of chemical weapons as well as medicines and consumer products. And his extraordinary research efforts have resulted in phenomenal results that have propelled the United States to the forefront of the field.

Furthermore, we submitted for Dr. Lee two independent advisory opinions written by leading researchers who have not worked with Dr. Lee and do not know Dr. Lee personally but rather through his publications and presentations at scientific conferences. We also brought to immigration officers’ attention that Dr. Lee’s research has been cited in numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles by researchers all over the world.

We submitted Dr. Lee’s NIW petition May 27, 2005. Less than 2 months later, his petition was approved.
