Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group was hired to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a teaching faculty member from Nigeria. Before documenting our client’s case, we assessed her planned research work in the field of public health, focusing on alcohol use disorder and HPV in order to develop strategies to mitigate their effects and prevalence through education and research. After a thorough assessment, we deduced that her research work is certainly of great importance as it provides new understandings of how hypertension and vascular dysfunction contribute to a range of coronary and ocular medical conditions.
Our main goal was to prepare a comprehensive petition for our client, displaying her prosperous research works that have influenced her peers and other researchers in the field. At the time of filing, she had already received 70 citations from the 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) and 1 conference paper she published. We noted that she is an active member of the scientific community as a peer reviewer as well and completed 3 reviews, signifying her outstanding reputation in the field of public health.
We added two letters of recommendation in her petition packet along with a documented record of her success in the field, demonstrating her considerable experience and expertise that significantly furthers U.S. interests. We presented the testimonies to the USCIS affirming that she has a fair plan for future activity in the field of public health.
We elaborated on our client’s intended research having both substantial merit and national importance and how it would be beneficial to the United States. We observed that she met all the prongs required to qualify for a national interest waiver under the analytical framework set forth in Matter of DHANASAR. Therefore, we were successful in persuading the USCIS that our client’s use of innovative methodologies, the nature of her breakthroughs, and the ways that her unique findings have been applied throughout the field will highly benefit the public health industry in the United States.
Gladly, our client received the EB-2 NIW approval within 7 months and 18 days. Our team would like to thank her for having faith in us throughout the process and congratulate her on this major milestone.
