Case Summary:

This time we were given the opportunity to work with a pulmonologist from India specializing in how certain treatments and procedures affect patients with pulmonary and respiratory conditions. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers – a body of work that had received 48 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “Because [Client’s] research has provided such definitive evidence for a topic that has endured much debate, it serves as a clear indication that he has become a truly significant figure in the field whose work influences professionals all across the field. I feel that it is important to support the work that [Client] is doing because it is this type of research that truly moves the field of healthcare forward in terms of developing effective therapies and patient-care protocols. The type of critical care medicine in which [Client] has shown such a great interest is central to the evolution of healthcare in the United States.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 18 days.
