Case Summary:

We provided exceptional care to our client from India, who approached us seeking assistance with obtaining his green card. He opted to apply through the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. During this process, we carried out a background check and drafted a petition tailored to his qualifications as follows:

Our client presents a credible educational background, holding an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering. This satisfies the first requirement of possessing an advanced degree.
His research has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored), 1 peer-reviewed conference article, 3 abstracts (2 of them first-authored), 1 preprint, and 1 patent. He has published in no fewer than 9 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals. The selection of his research for publication in these journals therefore affirms the fact that the quality of his research has set him apart from his peers.
As stated on Google Scholar, his research has also made a significant impact on his peers with a total of 328 citations, and he has completed 3 reviews, confirming that our client is seen as very knowledgeable in his chosen field and an expert in topics related to his proposed endeavor.
Furthermore, our client’s work integrates advanced AI methods with biofeedback techniques to customize rehabilitation strategies based on individual patient needs, reducing the need for prolonged hospital stays and long-term care. His user-friendly methods empower patients to actively participate in their recovery by providing real-time insights into their progress, leading to improved outcomes and greater independence. Ultimately, his research makes a substantial impact on the U.S. healthcare system, improving the quality of life for countless individuals affected by spinal cord injuries and strokes.
Fellow experts in the field reinforced our client’s credibility in their recommendation letter, one of which stated:

“[Client’s] projects offer major benefits for the healthcare system in the United States. By applying his technologies, the nation is well-positioned to combat pandemics, create new and effective drugs, and prepare antibodies for mutations that have yet to pass. In sum, the United States stands to benefit from [client’s] ongoing research, and as such, he must be allowed to continue pursuing his studies in the country.”

To sum up, our client received approval just 53 days after our dedicated efforts, supported by USCIS’s premium processing service. This success adds to our proven track record of over 32,000 approvals, and we are grateful to our client for placing his trust in us.
