Case Summary:

Based in North Carolina, our client holds a doctoral degree in Quantitative Psychology, has extensive experience in the field of psychometrics, and is undoubtedly an outstanding researcher. His consistent contributions to the field made him a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), and after determining that we could help him build a solid case, we gathered an array of evidence to support the petition. While collecting relevant documentation, our team collaborated with our client closely with efficient and targeted communication which specifically addressed our client’s concerns towards the NIW preparation process. With our help, his petition was approved in 9 months and 23 days.

Our client is an expert in the field of psychometrics, as he proposes to continue his research on the development and evaluation of measurement equivalence testing methods, with an emphasis on the detection of differentially functioning items in a multiple-group or longitudinal context. In the petition letter, customized by our dedicated team, we addressed the 85 times his 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and a cited master’s thesis were cited, his experience of judging the work of his peers as well as the importance of our client’s research. His research in this area is of great importance because it involves ensuring the validity and accuracy of patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PROs are utilized by health care providers to collect accurate data regarding patients’ health status, and therefore make informed decisions about the appropriate treatment plan for each patient. By focusing on the development, evaluation, and advancement of accessible patient-reported outcomes surveys, our client has contributed to the formation of cancer policies around the world.

As with all our clients, we advised him on the process of selecting suitable recommenders and obtaining their testimonials. These testimonials supported the approval of our client’s NIW petition and contained strong statements such as: “Impressively, this work represents only a small part of [client’s] contributions, as he has consistently produced valuable insights and methodologies for advancements in patient-reported outcomes research related to various harmful conditions while simultaneously advancing the field of psychometrics. In the process, [client’s] collective work has been a significant driver in efforts to improve health outcomes research around the world.”

We are pleased that our efforts paved the way for our client’s NIW petition approval. We congratulate him for completing this significant first step in the green card process, and we thank him for trusting us.
