Case Summary:

One of the few leading experts with proven expertise in the field of statistics, our client’s proposed endeavor is to develop novel statistical approaches to facilitate drug development, healthcare, and pandemic prevention for public health improvement. He approached the North America Immigration Law Group to help him build an influential I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, establishing that he is well-known for:

Drafting statistical analysis plans and protocols for clinical trials, implementing and developing statistical techniques for primary endpoints analysis and data monitoring, including safety and laboratory data monitoring.
His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it ensures the improvement of public health outcomes through comprehensive statistical investigations of factors crucial for pandemic preparedness and response.
Additionally, to effectively manage HIV and preemptively address future pandemics, there is an urgent need to develop novel strategies using robust statistical approaches within the U.S, thus leveraging his extensive experience in statistics, the U.S. is better positioned to pioneer data-driven therapies and drugs, not only enhancing national public health but also establishing the country as a leader in pandemic prevention and healthcare.

His splendid credentials ensured that we countersigned the client-attorney relationship agreement and proceeded with preparing a strong petition dossier to achieve the national interest waiver for our noteworthy client. We highlighted the following important aspects while filing his NIW case:

His research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored) and 1 meeting abstract published in the top journals of his field, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of this research.
His publications attracted 51 citations from a wide audience hailing from well-known international institutions both in the United States and abroad.

Not only did we assist him in devising this successful case but also made sure to compile all the new information provided by our client to be incorporated in his petition to meet the requirements.

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. His education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that our client is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. Thus, he received his NIW approval despite a long wait and without any RFE.

We truly thank him for his constant cooperation and kind support throughout the adjudication process and wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors.
