On March 1^st, 2018, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Registered Nurse in the Field of Public Health (Approval Notice).

General Field: Public Health

Country of Origin: France

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York

Approval Notice Date: March 1^st, 2018

Processing Time: 9 months, 1 day

Case Summary:

A research registered nurse from France hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to help her secure EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval. After carefully reviewing her credentials, we confirmed that she qualified for the national interest waiver based on Matter of Dhanasar, the framework used to determine NIW eligibility.

We made sure that the petition dossier we presented to the USCIS was personalized based on our client’s strengths and achievements in the field of public health. Our team worked diligently to present a strong case that highlighted our client’s work on the development of neuromuscular disease databases, and we persuaded the USCIS that her work helps medical and pharmacological researchers develop treatment for these diseases.

With over 10,000 petition approvals in the bag, there is no denying that our firm knows just what strategy to employ based on each individual client’s credentials. In this case, we focused on our client’s 5 publications and the 130 times they were cited at the time of filing. Further, we incorporated recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the public health research community. According to one of them: “[Client’s] work has indisputably been a useful resource for public health researchers invested in projects on similar topics.” Another recommender noted that she is “…one of the leading experts in her field.”

Exactly 9 months and a day after we filed the NIW petition to the USCIS, our client received notification of case approval. The approval of this petition is yet another example of our firm’s excellent record of helping our clients get closer to US permanent residency. We congratulate our client for overcoming this significant hurdle in the green card process, and we thank her to retaining us to help her with the I-485 application. We look forward to helping her obtain a green card, and we guarantee our continued support the rest of the way.
