Case Summary:

The acquisition of a National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa permits the holder to become a lawful permanent resident within the United States. Our client, a Uzbek research associate, had hired the North America Immigration Law Group to assist her in filing for an NIW petition. Our team confirmed her qualifications and found that she had a Ph.D. in obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, we also found that she was researching molecular mechanisms underlying primary and secondary infertility in women to develop novel treatment options for infertility-related conditions such as recurrent implantation failure and recurrent pregnancy loss.

After completing our analysis, we determined that the client had a good chance to secure NIW approval, and agreed to take her in as our client. With over 32,000 successful cases, we were certain that we could assist her. The customized petition package we created contained the following details, in addition to the ones above:

Our client’s research is of national importance, as 11% of women in the United States experience some form of fertility problem, the use of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has grown significantly, resulting in 4 million births per year. However, some patients still experience recurrent implantation failure, characterized by the inability to achieve pregnancy after three consecutive IVF attempts with healthy embryos. Our client’s work investigating the mechanisms behind this condition is significant in understanding the cause and enhancing the success rate of infertility treatment, thus decreasing the rate of recurrent implantation failure across the country, leading to healthier birth outcomes for millions. In addition, the importance of her research is supported by the fact that she was given funding by Japan Society for the Progression of Science for her research.

Our client has also been active and involved in academia, publishing 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored). Her work has also been influential in her field, with a total of 75 citations at the time of filing. Not only that, but 3 of her papers have also been among the most highly cited within their field and year of publication. Furthermore, she has also participated in the review process herself, having previously done 2 peer reviews of her fellow experts’ work. This is a task that is given only to those who are respected enough within the community to judge the work of others.

Lastly, our client has also received letters of recommendation from 4 experts within her field, one of whom had this to say:

“Biomedical research is an important field necessitating a high caliber of individual to succeed within it. Upon taking into account [Client]’s research, her body of published work, and her peer-review experience, it is clear that she is a vital innovator and proven researcher.”

With the work of our committed team, alongside the USCIS’s premium processing service, we managed to get her petition’s approval in just 6 days. We thank our client for having faith in our team and hope for her success.
