Our client, a citizen of India, is a Computational Biologist and on H-1B. His employer was not willing to file his PERM Labor Certification and I-140 in order to allow him to file H-1B extensions beyond the statutory 6-year limit. Attorney Furqan filed his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition arguing that his research in breast cancer will help to improve U.S. health. USCIS approved the I-140 and he was able to use that I-140 to file H-1B extensions with his current employer.
