In November and December of 2005, MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers were provided with examples of National Interest Waiver (NIW) and Extraordinary Ability (EA) cases filed by the Murthy Law Firm that received approvals. Our firm also received an NIW approval remarkable for its speed. The case was filed just prior to September 30, 2005, as part of our push to file eligible cases for nationals of India before EB2 retrogression was to go into effect. Happily, it was approved just one month later, at the end of October 2005. This is quite unusual and we are very pleased, as is our client. The substance of the case follows. It is an example of the types of proof and the arguments that have helped the Murthy Law Firm obtain approvals in NIW cases for many of our clients.

Field of NIW Work

Our client conducted leading work in the field of Free Radical Chemistry. The research focused on biosynthetic studies of potential anticancer compounds. Cancer research generally can be shown to be in the national interest, as the development of new cancer treatments is a high research priority in the United States. Our client conducted important research on free radicals, which are potentially harmful atoms or molecules within the body. Free radicals react with body chemicals and can cause disease, including cancer and immune-deficiency diseases. We argued that this individual’s research is of substantial benefit to the health of U.S. citizens and to the U.S. economy, as evidenced by research funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Our firm submitted reference letters on our client's behalf from U.S. and international universities and private institutions.

Nine publications were authored by this individual, including articles in leading journals and invited book chapters. Our client presented research at prestigious conferences, including the highly-select Gordon Research Conferences. We were able to show that other researchers are building upon our client's important and essential research findings, as demonstrated by more than seventy favorable citations to the work that has been done. This scientist is also a member of several professional organizations related to the field, including Phi Lambda Upsilon and the American Chemical Society.
