Case Summary:

An assistant professor in Arizona with an M.D. enlisted the help of the North America Immigration Law Group to aid him in submitting an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). As part of our duties, we evaluated our client’s qualifications and considered the relevant documentation demonstrating how his planned project would benefit him here in the United States. Since our client’s credentials greatly impressed us in this instance, we countersigned the client-attorney relationship agreement. Consequently, we provided evidence of his accomplishments in the field of pain medicine in his NIW petition for additional consideration of his case by USCIS:

Firstly, we showcased his research which focused on identifying high-risk patients for challenging pain control before surgery and creating tailored plans, including interventions and medications, for managing their pain during hospitalization in order to provide effective pain management for all phases of patient care encompassing the full spectrum of pain management, which are therefore relevant to improving public health and reducing economic burdens.

Besides, we detailed the 32 times his work got cited by many researchers, and this notable citation record emphasizes that our client has had a major influence on other scholars’ understanding of topics such as adult renal cell carcinoma in renal malignancies, and cancers, partial and radical kidney resection, chemotherapy to treat retroperitoneal tumors, and the mechanisms of pain generation.

In addition, we observed that he has published 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them firstauthored) in several highly ranked peer-reviewed journals in the field, thereby signifying that the other researchers consistently look to his methods and findings to inform and guide their studies, indicating that our client is well positioned to make further useful discoveries in the field of pain medicine.

Moreover, we saw that our client is regarded as a leader in the field of pain medicine because of his accomplishments and level of competence. He has performed 11 reviews so far and is frequently asked to provide peer reviews for reputable publications in the industry.

Furthermore, we bolstered his case by including recommendation letters signed by four other established researchers in the field, confirming how our client’s work is intrinsically beneficial for improving pain management globally, particularly for cancer survivors.

Once again, we successfully convinced the USCIS of our client’s outstanding achievements in his field and demonstrated his value in improving national pain management initiatives before, during, and after hospitalization. As a result, our client’s NIW petition was approved just 3 days after we filed his case. We are grateful to our client for choosing our law firm to represent his I140 NIW petition.
