The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Researcher from India. His work has focused specifically on advancing treatments for pathogens and various infectious diseases. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 17 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 57 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. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] discovered that vitamin A deficiency led to very weak gut immunity against the RV vaccine in contrast to vitamin A sufficient pigs. The deficient pigs also experienced severe diarrhea and heightened virus presence in feces, proving that vitamin A deficiency causes weakened immunity to the oral human RV vaccine. [Client’s] work has established the requirement of ideal vitamin A levels for proper immunity in viral vaccines.” 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 1 day.
