Mr. Z originally researched water pollution and the causes of cancer. After coming to the United States, he moved into medical devices and nanorobotics and filed his NIW around a medical device project under development.

If the petition had stayed centered on his water research, it would have been hard to show that his future plans were feasible. The key issue in review was building a sound logical link between his environmental pollution research and his work in medical technology innovation.

We argued the logical connection between research on water pollution as a cause of cancer and targeted cancer therapy using nanorobots. We highlighted his role as an industry contributor in medical device innovation and investment, and supported the project's feasibility with data on its technical prospects and market demand.
