General Field: Molecular Biology

Country of Origin: Bangladesh

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Alabama

Approval Notice Date: December 4^th, 2019

Processing Time: 7 months, 23 days

Case Summary:

Our client from Bangladesh, is a remarkable researcher who has dedicated to advances in Molecular Biology. He approached North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) when he decided that he wanted to become a permanent resident of the United States. Our committed team worked diligently to collect supporting documentary evidence of his work to prove his achievement in the field of Molecular Biology.

His expertise and experience is evident through his publication record of 12 peer-reviewed journal articles which have been cited a total of 137 times. He has also conducted 2 times peer review for Pharmaceutical Biology which proved his participation as a judge of the work of others. Not only did we demonstrated that our client’s findings greatly benefit the field of Molecular Biology, we also emphasized that his work is of great importance to the United States as a whole since his research focuses on the interactions between bacteria and their predatory viral phages at the molecular level by investigating the function of the unknown genes present in phage genomes in order to develop novel phage-based antimicrobials and this work significantly expands our understanding of bacteria and the bacteriophages that prey upon them.

To support our case, we incorporated 4 recommendation letters contributed by other notable experts to attest the value of our client’s work. The following excerpt is what one of the recommenders noted in the letter: “Establishing an understanding of the complex interplay between bacteria and bacteriophages has substantial value in treating drug-resistant infections and also because this work provides knowledge on bacterial evolution and bacterial defense mechanisms. [Client’s] research improves our ability to manipulate bacteria by taking advantage of bacteriophages and their interactions with bacteria under a variety of environmental conditions.”

We handled his case with utmost attentiveness and made sure every necessary evidence regarding the significance of our client’s research was presented. His NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 23 days. We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of his case, and we thank him for also retaining our law firm for the last step of the green card process: filing an I-485.
