Case Summary:

“His clinical practice has indeed already been a great service to the United States, and his research developments bring our specialized research community many steps closer to fully understanding and designing effective treatments for esophageal cancer.”

This quote is excerpted from one of the six recommendation letters that North Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) included in our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. These letters were provided by expert gastroenterologists, and they illustrated the importance of our client’s research to the United States public health and medical research industry.

Our client, a gastroenterology fellow from India, conducts research on Barrett’s esophagus and diagnostic techniques. We established that his work addresses not only the conditions of the esophagus and how they affect the body, but also how to identify these conditions. We argued that his extensive expertise, his high citation and publication count, and his unique skills are incomparable, and that not many other medical experts can achieve results of this caliber.

The USCIS took almost seven months to adjudicate this EB-2 NIW case. We raised a service request on our client’s behalf and received an approval notice shortly after. We are pleased that our client is more than halfway through the complex process of obtaining a green card, and we wish him the best.
