Case Summary:

A Ph.D. candidate engaged in the field of health outcomes research hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an I-140 petition and an I-485 application on her behalf (the two steps involved in green card proceedings).

Our legal team worked diligently to prove that our client is an asset to the United States and that not many other researchers can mirror her meritorious accomplishments. We did this by carefully detailing her evaluations on the safety and efficacy of new drug classes and the disparities in healthcare utilization between race/ethnicity. We demonstrated that our client’s research directly contributes to the United States health care system as it provides clinicians, policy makers, and industry representatives with trustworthy data on the effects of various health practices.

Besides accounts of our client’s work, our comprehensive EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet contained information on our client’s M.Sc. in Managed Care Pharmacy, the 76 citations gathered from her 9 publications, and five recommendation letters contributed by experts in her field. One of these experts wrote, “Without [Client’s] continued presence in her field, the medical community and public health of the United States will be at a considerable disadvantage.”

As our client chose to file I-485 applications for herself and her husband while her I-140 was still pending approval, she received both approval notices less than two months apart. We would like to congratulate our client on getting her green card, and we thank her for choosing us to represent her through the green card process.
