Case Summary:

“[The client] is a vital asset, as his epidemiologic work offers invaluable insights into the effects of insomnia in substance use disorders and suicidal behaviors, which are crucial to our nation’s efforts to combat these ongoing epidemics.”

“Given his impact on the field, one cannot doubt that [the client] is an irreplaceable member of the American scientific community. His research is emblematic of truly remarkable epidemiological research.”

“[Client’s] projects are crucial for our nation’s war on substance abuse and suicide-related epidemics. Given the increase in suicide-related deaths, preventing deaths due to alcohol abuse and suicide is of the utmost importance, as insomnia and alcohol abuse are established risk factors for suicide. Thus, [client’s] investigations on the relationships between sleep disturbance, alcohol abuse, and suicidal ideation are very pertinent.”

These are three small passages taken from the letters of recommendation that our client, a research assistant in epidemiology, was able to obtain from fellow experts in the field. The client has been recognized as a leading figure among public health experts specializing in epidemiology, and he has achieved a consistent and notable record of success and influence in this area of study. He is especially well-known for his work on the relationship between excessive caffeine consumption, sleep disturbances, and substance abuse. Furthermore, his work has received considerable attention from his peers in the field and the general public. All of which helped our team build a successful EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case for him.

We were able to gather that he has spent years investigating issues related to the underlying causes of substance abuse and other behavioral patterns and is regarded as an authority in the field. The field has recognized his authority by inviting him to review and evaluate the work of his peers no fewer than 22 times. Moreover, his work has attracted a wide audience and has been cited by researchers both in the United States and abroad. These researchers hail from well-known international institutions such as the Sorbonne Université (France), University Hospital of North Norway (Norway), Vanvitelli University (Italy), etc.

His work has resulted in 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles and one peer-reviewed book chapter. Moreover, these papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in his field. These journals are extremely selective with a rigorous peer-review process, making publication in them a rare accomplishment achieved by only the very best researchers in the field. His publications have been cited by researchers in at least 40 countries according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of epidemiology. And due to its great applicability in the field, his research in epidemiology has been cited 552 times in other peer-reviewed journal articles according to Google Scholar.

The objective evidence submitted by our experts, which includes evidence of funding, his publication, and citation record, and his overall record of success and significant influence in the field, demonstrates that his findings are indeed original and represent unique and substantive contributions to the academic field of research. Thus, we are proud of having been a part of his success story. NAILG wishes him the very best in all of his future endeavors.
