Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Gastroenterology Fellow from Lebanon in the field of Internal Medicine. His work has focused specifically on treatment strategies and tools for interventions for a variety of hematologic and gastrointestinal diseases. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Internal Medicine, including 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference publications. His publications had been cited at least 169 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client]’s work in validating the effectiveness and proving the safety of EUS-FNA as a diagnostic method for cholangiocarcinoma has been at the forefront of endoscopic research. [Client] is a leading figure in the quest to improve diagnostic methods and patient outcomes. In addition to having a large impact on the treatment cholangiocarcinoma, his conclusions have already been applied successfully to the diagnosis of other gastrointestinal cancers.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 17 days.
