Case Summary:

“[Client] has therefore dedicated himself to producing population sample-based studies that have illuminated relationships between prominent characteristics and their intrinsic links to these diseases and conditions, and his ongoing work will continue to contribute important findings to life-saving advancements in the medical field.”

This statement is excerpted from one of several recommendation letters that medical specialists contributed to our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Alongside these letters, North America Immigration Law Group included summaries of our client’s sample-based studies on prevalent public health concerns like obesity and tuberculosis. We established that his findings have directly contributed to the United States’ healthcare and medical fields, and improved overall public health. We also detailed the 239 citations of his 13 published papers.

By establishing that no other physician who shares our client’s background is able to accomplish what our client has, we successfully argued that our client’s I-140 should be approved. Even so, it took the USCIS more than 13 months to grant their approval. The delay was a result of the double transfer of our client’s EB-2 NIW petition. In addition to that, North America Immigration Law Group had to raise two consecutive service requests before the USCIS adjudicated and ultimately, approved the petition. We join our client in celebrating this momentous occasion, and wish him the best in his continued efforts to improve public health in the United States.
