Attorney Kornfeld obtained an approval of the National Interest Waiver (NIW) and the Extraordinary Ability petitions for a postdoctoral research scientist in the field of chemical genetics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Columbia University.

However, she was relatively young without a long track record. Attorney Kornfeld skillfully emphasized the scientist’s extraordinary skill, novel research, international recognition and substantial contributions to her field.
