Client’s Testimonial:

“It has really been a great pleasure working with you.”

On September 17^th, 2026, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Resident Physician in the Field of Internal Medicine (Approval Notice).

General Field: Internal Medicine

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Resident Physician

Country of Origin: Pakistan

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York

Approval Notice Date: September 17^th, 2026

Processing Time: 1 month, 28 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

A solid record of clinical research influence and direct alignment with national health priorities formed the basis of this EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) represented an internal medicine researcher holding an M.B.B.S. degree who currently serves as a resident physician and medical researcher.

An Established Record Before the Proposed Endeavor

Long before filing the petition, the client’s scholarly contributions had already gained meaningful recognition across the medical community. The record documented 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored) and 13 peer-reviewed abstracts (1 first-authored), which together had accumulated 35 citations from independent clinical researchers.

Rather than presenting citation totals in isolation, our legal team contextualized these metrics for the USCIS adjudicator by evaluating their field-specific impact. We demonstrated that two of his publications ranked among the top 20% most-cited clinical medicine articles for their respective publication years.

From Research Influence to NIW Approval

The petition was further corroborated by expert testimonial evidence attesting to the client's clinical authority and the national value of his research.

"[Client’s] extensive academic and professional background has enabled him to make many important advancements in the field of internal medicine."

By connecting the client's publication record, top-tier journal placements, bibliometric performance, independent clinical reliance, and alignment with federal healthcare goals into a cohesive narrative, NAILG presented a compelling case. Filed with Direct Premium Processing, USCIS approved the client’s EB-2 NIW petition without a Request for Evidence. We congratulate the client on this achievement and look forward to his continued contributions to internal medicine, cardiovascular diagnostics, and AI-driven clinical care.
