Case Summary:

A fellow from the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine hired North America Immigration Law Group to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client, who conducts research on lung diseases and the best ways to treat them, holds two medical degrees—MBBS and MD—both obtained from institutions in his birth country of India.

Our legal team took great care in understanding and accounting for our client’s various research projects. We detailed his findings in our comprehensive EB-2 NIW petition packet that also included data on his journal articles and 12 citations. We convinced the USCIS that our client’s work is of substantial value to the United States, particularly to the healthcare system and medical community. Furthermore, we argued that not many other researchers who share our client’s medical background have achieved such meritorious results.

As with all our cases, we helped our client narrow down experts in the medical field who were willing to submit recommendation letters to strengthen his EB-2 NIW petition. In this case, our client managed to get six recommendation letters, one of which stated, “Given his numerous experiences as a practicing physician, a researcher, and an all-around professional, his desire to maintain his current course should be appreciated and validated.” The USCIS responded to our carefully compiled petition packet by granting their approval.

We congratulate our client on his I-140 approval and wish him the best in his continued investigations.
