Case Summary:
We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com were happy to help an assistant professor in the field of Orthopedic Surgery obtain approval of his EB-2 NIW petition. His work had focused on sports medicine and improving the design of baseball helmets with the goal of reducing and mitigating head injuries for players. He had also studied the treatment of spinal stenosis. His research resulted in 7 journal articles (6 of which the client was the first author) and five book chapters (four of which were first authored). At the time of filing his case, his publications had been cited 92 times. Additionally, this client acted as a reviewer and editor of other publications. One of four independent recommenders explained: “The problems that [Client] researches are national problems. Spinal stenosis is the leading diagnosis for those who need spinal surgery. Spinal problems can lead to reduced mobility, pain, and a general drop in quality of life for those who suffer for them; unfortunately, as [Client’s]work points out, treatment and diagnosis can be complicated, painful, and ineffectual. They are also expensive, not only for the individual and their insurance companies, but for the public, in the form of payments for Medicare and disability. Since this problem affects people of all backgrounds across the United States, any advancements in its treatment would benefit the country and its populations as a whole. The kind of research [Client] does could improve diagnosis and treatment options for stenosis sufferers, which could alleviate pain and suffering in thousands of people and free up time and resources to spend on other public health problems.” This petition was approved in 5 months, 11 days.
