Case Summary:

With a M.S. in biostatistics and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the same field. When she contacted our law firm to file an I140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf, we examined more into her degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating her credentials, we established that we would lead her to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.

We intended to prove that she is an essential researcher in her field of expertise therefore we added essential attributes to her NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. We noted that:

Her work has been cited 91 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that her publications are widely recognized and relied upon in her chosen field.
We also detailed her contributions to peer-reviewed conference articles which resulted in 22 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored).

Moreover, our client’s research related to utilizing advanced biostatistical methodologies to improve the design and analysis of healthcare intervention studies and promote the development of effective healthcare solutions has great substantial merit and national importance. Among other applications, her research is relevant to healthcare interventions and the economy.

Additionally, her use of modern biostatistics in healthcare research optimizes resources and lowers costs. Her continued work is thus essential for shaping evidence-based healthcare solutions on a global scale, underscoring the broad importance of her continued work.

To bolster our client’s case further, we added recommendation letters signed by four other expert scholars in the field, one of whom stated:

“…[Client’s] work deals with matters of urgent importance to the nation, and her methods have proven to be highly effective. Supporting her continued research in the United States ensures that her expertise in the field of biostatistics is applied to matters that advance the common good, such as the study and mitigation of lead exposure among children. It is my sincere recommendation that her work be allowed to continue.”

Thus, our client’s education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that she is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.

We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in her field of expertise make her an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, she received her NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. Therefore, we thank her for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent her case and wish her very well as she continues to advance in her proposed field.
