This time we were given the opportunity to work with a biostatistician from Taiwan specializing in utilizing a cross-disciplinary approach to statistically analyze public health concerns such as oral health and breast cancer. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of her contributions to her field, including her 10 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as numerous conference papers - a body of work that had received 43 citations by the time we filed her case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in her field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of her work: “Normally, Head Start children are immediately assigned risk for ECC [early childhood caries] based on their low income. [Client’s] work provides information to the contrary, that risk can be accurately assigned according to parental assessments and thus provides a clear picture of which children should receive oral health care. This is quite a windfall for dentistry in maximizing the effectiveness of its care while reducing the costs in delivering it. Indeed, some high-risk children identified by using [Client’s] questions may have never received care if her simple assessments did not mark them for necessary attention.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as her fellow researchers, and argued that she would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in four months and twenty-five days.
