The applicant, a leading professional in an industry of significance to cancer research, has contributed to valuable innovations for cancer treatment. Their work plays a critical role in advancing scientific breakthroughs in the field.

The original petition, filed independently by the applicant, was met with an RFE disputing three key categories:

  • Original Contributions – disputed by USCIS

  • Authorship of Scholarly Articles – ✅ accepted by USCIS

  • Leading or Critical Role – disputed by USCIS

  • High Salary – disputed by USCIS

USCIS initially challenged the petitioner’s qualifications, but we provided a strategic and compelling response, reinforcing their original contributions, critical role, and salary level relative to industry standards. Through expert letters, evidence of real-world impact, and detailed documentation, we successfully demonstrated their pivotal role in advancing cancer research—leading to final approval.

How Manifest Made It Happen

How Manifest Made It Happen

The applicant had been in the US for many years and needed a path to a green card that did not depend on their employer. The RFE they received proved to be a significant obstacle to moving forward with their green card, since these cases have a high standard for approval, and they had only been granted one of the criteria. Manifest attorneys applied their expertise with RFEs and secured the approval for the client. This was critical to preserve the pending green card application, and the applicant’s ability to stay and work in the US.
