This NIW case was unexpectedly approved in record time, even though the applicant had only two scholarly articles — both published years ago with under 100 citations. She had no peer-reviewing experience or other individual recognitions.

Background:
The applicant holds Ivy League degrees in biology and completed internships at several major pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. She currently works in data consulting at a leading U.S. pharmaceutical company, though her role isn’t directly related to drug safety.

Our Approach:
We emphasized her corporate experience by linking her job duties to national interest themes. Her strong academic background also supported the case. Our team conducted detailed research into pharmaceutical talent needs, the societal importance of drug safety regulation, and the role of data science in accelerating drug development. Her experience in AI-based drug safety modeling added further relevance.
