Case Summary:

Our client, a member of a profession with an advanced degree, demonstrated by the evidence and corroborated testimony our team had attached to his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. Our team noted his proposed endeavor was to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which bone tissue and kidneys interact in the human body to gain deeper insights into structural and molecular level changes.

After our team completed inspecting his background, we agreed to take him as a client and move forward with his petition. The details included in his personalized petition package are as follows:

• Our client has published 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored). These papers have been published in the top journals in our client’s field, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of this research. He has published papers in no fewer than 8 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.
• His work has been cited a total of 178 times at the time of the petition, demonstrating that his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biomedical engineering.
• Our client has also done 9 peer reviews at the time of the petition, indicating his status in the academic community to be trusted enough to judge the work of other experts.
• His study into the molecular interactions affecting kidney and bone tissue is extremely valuable for the development of novel treatments that address this comorbidity, as both kidney disease and bone diseases are prevalent in millions of U.S. citizens. His work is thus crucial for improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and reducing the financial burden of these diseases.
• His research has been supported with funding from the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine and Zimmer Biomet Dental, indicating its clear national importance.
• Lastly, our client has also received letters of recommendation from 2 different experts, with one saying:

“Given the number of people who live with diabetes in this country, it is clear how [Client]’s work benefits the medical and scientific communities of the United States. However, his overall focus is not on bone quality in patients with diabetes mellitus, but on the bone quality in patients with kidney disease. This focus is of equal value to the United States, a country in which millions of people live with kidney disease. [Client]’s focus on the downstream effects of kidney disease (namely, compromised bone quality) is uniquely suited to serve the nation’s best interests, not to mention the best interests of those patients and their caregivers.”

Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case and won approval for his petition. With the help of the USCIS’s premium processing service, the waiting period before receiving approval was just a mere 4 days. We wish our client continued success in his future endeavors and are grateful for his faith in our firm.
