Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in cognitive and brain sciences and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of neuroscience. When our client from Italy hired our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf, we examined her credentials thoroughly. We established that we could lead her to NIW success and agreed to take her case.

Our goal was to add the necessary information to her NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet to demonstrate why she is a vital researcher in the field of neuroscience.

• We noted that her work has been cited 175 times, demonstrating that her publications are widely recognized and relied upon in her chosen field.
• We also detailed how her research has been published in no fewer than 7 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals in her field, resulting in 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored), 3 conference abstracts (1 of them first-authored), and 3 preprints (1 of them first-authored).
• Moreover, due to her extensive experience and expertise in fields such as cognitive neuroscience, brain stimulation and plasticity, and depression treatment, she is frequently requested to conduct peer reviews for leading journals in the field. So far, she has completed at least 15 reviews. Since only the most respected researchers in the field are invited to assess the work of their colleagues, particularly in notable publications, it is evident that she is regarded as highly knowledgeable in the field and an authority on subjects pertaining to her proposed endeavor.

Furthermore, our client’s work related to advancing personalized brain stimulation treatments tailored for depression and executive function disorders to improve quality of life and mitigate the occurrence of suicidal ideation is relevant to advancing treatment for mental disorders and addressing the U.S. mental health crisis. Evidently, her research into comparing invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques across different brain states is actively advancing her field, which has also received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, the Swiss National Science Foundation, and the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation, and NIMH.

Therefore, once again, we were successful in conveying the USCIS of our client’s groundbreaking work, which represents significant advancements in the application of brain stimulation treatments for addressing these disorders, leading to an improved quality of life and reduced suicidal ideation. In this case, our diligence and hard work paid off, as she was approved for a National Interest Waiver in just a week. We express our gratitude to her for selecting the North America Immigration Law Group to handle her NIW case and thank the premium processing service upgrade for its expedited adjudication of the case. We wish her the best for her future career advancement.
