Case Summary:

An experienced gastroenterology fellow recently hired North America Immigration Law Group to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf. Our client obtained his Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery from a medical institution in his birth country of India. His work on Barrett’s esophagus and associated complications has allowed for more accurate diagnostic methods and a better understanding of esophageal diseases.

In the comprehensive I-140 packet that we put together, we demonstrated the value of our client’s work to his field of gastroenterology. To further strengthen his EB-1A petition, we encouraged him to contact experts in his field to provide testimonials supporting his research. One of these experts wrote, “[Client’s] research aptly demonstrates that patients with longer stretches of Barrett’s esophagus are at a higher risk of developing cancer. These findings are significantly important to the progression of cancer research, as it allows the development of risk prevention strategies in the clinical setting.” Alongside these letters, we detailed our client’s 13 published papers, 88 citations, and 2 occasions when he judged the work of other gastroenterologists.

We raised a service request with the USCIS when the average processing time had elapsed; a little over a month later, we got word of the petition’s approval. We congratulate our client on this milestone and wish him the best in his continued investigations on Barrett’s esophagus.
