New NIW Successful Stories (28) Dr. Lee Because of many factors including a weakened job market, slowing economy, and the US war on terrorism, the USCIS has responded by tightening nearly all employment-based categories, including NIW petitions. In some cases, the USCIS has simply denied NIW applications without recourse to their own protocol of sending a request for evidence (RFE). This is troubling not only because the issuance of a RFE is required under the USCIS internal operation procedure before a petition can be denied, but also because many of the concerns raised by the USCIS in the denials could have been answered if the USCIS had simply provided an opportunity to respond to its concerns through the issuance of an RFE. One applicant who felt the sting of this denial, Dr. Lee, approached Z&A for help in appealing his NIW denial. The somewhat sarcastic and insulting tone of the denial letter he received informed Dr. Lee that his accomplishments “paled in comparison” to nearly all of his colleagues. A researcher in the field of cancer prevention specializing in the identification of genetic polymorphisms in relation to endometrial, skin and breast cancer, Dr. Lee was shocked that the USCIS official could be so narrow-minded as to avoid seeing the national scope of his work and the impact he had on his field. Advocating strongly on his behalf, our skillful attorneys found 8 more letters of support for Dr. Lee, including an internal USCIS memo criticizing the practice of direct denials. With our assistance, Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was finally approved in June of 2005. Dr. Lee A multi-degreed scientist with a Ph.D in atmospheric science from a highly ranked technical institute in Massachusetts to complement his M.S. and B.S. in meteorology from a top Chinese university, Dr. Lee has long been a leader in his field of study. While completing his doctorate, he researched atmospheric water vapor, the most important greenhouse gas and agent in global warming, work so important to environmental policy decisions that he was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Lee retained Z&A in 2005 for help with his NIW application. Our competent legal team brought their well-honed skills to bear on the case, concentrating the USCIS official’s attention on his numerous awards and prizes given in recognition of Dr. Lee’s outstanding research. This strategy worked to perfection, as Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was submitted August 23, 2003, and approved by December 10, 2003. Dr. Lee Dr. Lee earned his Ph.D in neurobiology from a prestigious school on China’s east coast, focusing his research on understanding learning, memory, pain and addictions, as well as the plasticity of the brain. His work on the functions of the amygdala led to fascinating discoveries of how the brain captures and extracts useful information from the senses. When searching for the best legal aid available for help with his NIW petition, Dr. Lee chose Z&A for its combination of quality service and compassion. Quickly and efficiently compiling his documents and working side by side to ensure the best possible job, our attorneys diligently created a very persuasive case for Dr. Lee that focused on the implications of his research on nicotine addiction for the huge number of smokers in the US. Buttressed by several independent advisory opinions, Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was submitted on February 4, 2005. Only a few months later, in July 2005, Dr. Lee received notification that his NIW petition was approved. Dr. Lee Expert in the advanced field of communications and signal processing, a subcategory of electrical engineering (in which he earned a Ph.D from the most prestigious university in China), Dr. Lee has long been a leader. His more than 10 years of research for institutions from elite universities to private companies has largely focused on the blind identification and equalization of linear systems, and has led directly to the enhancement of communications receiver techniques. For help with his NIW petition, Dr. Lee decided on Z&A, a firm that could match his expertise with our own legal skill. Constructing an enormously powerful argument that stressed the ramifications of his work for the national wireless industry in developing their next generation of technology and that highlighted Dr. Lee’s over 25 publications, our lawyers felt confident that we would succeed. Dr. Lee’s application was submitted on May 13, 2004, and approved shortly thereafter. Dr. Lee Dr. Lee is an advanced degree professional by virtue of her Ph.D in education administration and policy she earned from an elite school in the US Great Lakes region. Her research concerns network analysis and its ramifications at both the state and national levels on the development and implementation of education policy. Dr. Lee, a native of India, has also enjoyed phenomenal success on the conference circuit, being invited to over 30 professional gatherings as a keynote speaker. Needing professional legal aid to help her with her NIW petition, Dr. Lee chose Z&A. The flexible but tough-minded legal team helped her polish and refine her achievements and accomplishments in a way that would be most likely to sway the opinions of the USCIS. To overcome the possible obstacle of having few publications, we noted that her research was crucial to the successful implementation of the No Child Left Behind policy enacted by the Bush administration. Dr. Lee’s NIW petition was submitted on February 3, 2005, and approved in late June of the same year. Mr. Lee Holder of a doctorate from Japan’s premier school for the fine arts and a master’s degree from a top art school in China, Mr. Lee has revolutionized the classic Japanese art style of nihonga by his clever use of detailed landscapes and highly dense paintings in his work with rock painting techniques. Successfully fusing together the styles of northern and southern schools in mineral pigmentation, his work has changed the way artists and art critics alike approach the field. Mr. Lee approached Z&A in November of 2004 for our competent assistance in filing an EB-1 petition as an alien of extraordinary ability. Our team intelligently and quickly assembled evidence of Mr. Lee’s numerous art exhibits around the world and of the over 15 articles written about the impact of his work on the rest of the art world. With our helpful and experienced aid, Mr. Lee’s EB-1 petition was submitted on November 13, 2004, and approved a few months later. Dr. Lee Dr. Lee earned his Ph.D at one of the best universities in the southeastern US while performing pioneering research on hybrid power sources, which have a large number of applications ranging from spacecraft power systems to hybrid fuel cell/battery power controls. While still in school working toward his M.S. in China, he earned the extremely prestigious New Star in Electric Power Award, given to an outstanding young researcher in his field every year. Dr. Lee retained Z&A in December of 2004 for our competent assistance in filing an EB-1 petition as an alien of extraordinary ability. Our experienced team assembled letters of support, most of which were independent advisory opinions, from around the world attesting to Dr. Lee’s singular impact and ability. Next, we compiled the over 40 publications and citations of his work, especially impressive given Dr. Lee’s young age. With our aid in persuading USCIS officials, Dr. Lee’s EB-1 petition was submitted on December 4, 2004, and approved a few months later. Dr. Lee A cardiologist by trade, Dr. Lee received his Ph.D in cardiology from one of Russia’s best medical schools. His work focuses on sick sinus syndrome and on the analysis of the incidence, mechanism, therapy and prevention of quinidine syncope. The clear implications of his work on the understanding of coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders for the national interest are strong indeed. Dr. Lee retained Z&A in 2004 for help with his NIW petition. Our attorneys drew on their vast experience and expertise in documenting all of his evidence as persuasively as possible, from his 18 publications and his multiple invitations to be a peer-reviewer to his independent advisory opinions. Working hand in hand with Dr. Lee, his NIW petition was submitted on May 24, 2004, and approved on November 12, 2004. Dr. Lee An exceptionally able researcher in the field of environmental toxicology and engineering, which has the potential to benefit the nation through the remediation of hazardous organic and inorganic contaminants in groundwater and soils, Dr. Lee came to the US after earning his Ph.D in civil engineering to complement his M.S. in environmental chemical engineering and B.S. in applied chemistry. Dr. Lee retained Z&A for help in filing his NIW petition after hearing from his colleagues about our exceptional service and skill in immigration law. Our legal team lived up to our reputation, devising a winning strategy despite only 3 letters of recommendation and 2 publications. Instead of dwelling on the negative, we accentuated the positive possible ramifications of Dr. Lee’s work, which could conceivably improve the lives of millions of Americans. Z&A delivered the best to Dr. Lee, and the result was the approval of his NIW petition only a few months after it was submitted on January 7, 2005. Dr. Lee Dr. Lee is a scientist in the field of electrical engineering, particularly as it relates to the design and operation of electric markets and electric power systems. He received his Ph.D from a prestigious Texas university while researching innovative methods to remotely calibrate the measurements used by power system state estimation, fundamental to a further understanding of his field. Before coming to the US, he earned a B.S. and M.S. in his eastern European home country in electrical engineering. In 2004, Dr. Lee approached Z&A for help in filing his NIW petition, and we delivered the best possible legal service. Our attorneys noticed his long list of invitations to be a peer-reviewer, evidence of Dr. Lee’ status in the field. Moreover, we were able to effectively document and collect all of the evidence required to sway the USCIS officials into granting his NIW petition. Because we came through on our promise to deliver the best to every client, Dr. Lee’ NIW petition was approved a few short months after we submitted it on December 1, 2004. Dr. Lee The nationally crucial field of system and process control, important in reducing production waste and energy consumption while increasing process and operational safety, would not be the same without the vital contributions of Dr. Lee. After obtaining his B.S. and M.S. degrees from a respected university in China in chemical engineering, Dr. Lee immigrated to America in 2002, where he earned his Ph.D in chemical engineering. In November 2002, Dr. Lee approached Z&A for help in filing his NIW petition. While Dr. Lee had the usual number of support letters, citations, and publications, he worried that his application would not stand out among the many others with similar qualifications. Our experienced lawyers were able, however, to marshal the facts in such a way as to completely convince the USCIS officials into granting the NIW petition. In spite of Dr. Lee’s fears, the NIW petition was submitted on December 23, 2004, and approved early in 2005. Ms. Lee Ms. Lee holds an M.S. in mechanical engineering from a top Texas university. Ms. Lee’s research is in modeling empirical equations to predict the effectiveness of heat transfer under different flow rates and heat flux. This research is significant because it has applications in high-technology areas like nuclear power generation and microelectronics. Ms. Lee’s research has resulted in 10 publications in journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In 2004, Ms. Lee retained Z&A for a NIW petition. Our attorney’s carefully instructed Ms. Lee on how to best build her case. Ms. Lee’s work will have major implications for improving the premium connection design in the oil and gas industry, and thus for the nation’s fossil fuel supply as a whole. Ms. Lee’s petition was sent December 14, 2004 and approved in July 2005. (06/29/2006) For more immigration news, please click here |
