Case Summary:

Based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most up-to-date winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take. However, there are certain prerequisites to be fulfilled by an individual including:

The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.

Therefore, through our expertise and based on the above requirements, we prepared a convincing case for our client hailing from Nigeria, currently positioned as a postdoctoral research associate after completing his Ph.D. in physiology (neurophysiology). His petition packet included the following key essentials:

His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it works to provide insight into crucial mechanisms that lead to the onset of common neurological diseases in order to aid the design of new therapies and treatments and thus his efforts are relevant to helping the United States address the serious public health and economic issues posed by long COVID.
His work has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored) and is cited 105 times according to Google Scholar.
His work has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the leading funder for biomedical research within the U.S. government.
His research is further given detailed importance by two of his fellow experts in the field of neuroscience.

As the documentary evidence and corroborating testimony from experts in the field establish, our client is a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. He proposes to continue his research on investigating microglial-vascular interaction and cerebral blood flow regulation in order to improve treatments for neurological diseases, which is clearly an endeavor with substantial merit and national importance. Also, thanks to premium processing, he received his I-140 NIW approval in 12 days only. We are proud of having worked with him and are grateful to him for his continued trust in us.
