Case Summary:

In the realm of international economics, where data drives diplomacy and models forecast policy outcomes, a scholar from India has distinguished herself with research that strengthens not only global economic ties but also the very architecture of peace and productivity. Now an Assistant Professor of Economics, this academic was recently granted EB1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) approval for her extraordinary contributions to trade theory, labor mobility, and international cooperation.

Her research covers a wide scope—from the mechanics of highly skilled immigration and firm behavior, to the intricacies of India-Pakistan trade relations. Notably, she developed a multilevel program to support trade normalization between the two countries, addressing policy impediments and proposing frameworks to foster interdependence and regional cooperation. Her work demonstrates how economic ties can act as a stabilizing force in geopolitically tense regions.

She has authored 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 as first author), 3 preprints, and 2 book chapters, alongside over 79 citations from scholars across Asia, Europe, and North America.

Her research has garnered funding from the Center for Growth and Opportunity (CGO) and attracted citations from scholars at various institutions.

Equally noteworthy is her service to the scholarly community. She has completed peer reviews for some of the most selective economics journals. These roles—reserved for only the most respected academics—confirm her standing as a trusted voice in evaluating new economic research.

One senior economist wrote:

“[Client’s] research provides actionable solutions to trade barriers and fosters greater economic integration, peace, and regional competitiveness. Her work creates constituencies for peace and drives development by reducing policy frictions.”

In her EB1B petition, we demonstrated how her work satisfies key regulatory criteria: original scientific contributions, high-impact publications, and judging the work of others at the top level. Her immigration and trade models—rooted in real-world data—have already influenced academic discourse and informed policy modeling globally.

At NAILG, we were proud to help bring this case to a successful outcome. With her EB1B approval now secured, she continues to push the boundaries of international economics, where insight meets impact, and research becomes a roadmap for shared prosperity.
