Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Practicing Clinician from India.  Her work had focused specifically on the nebivolol therapy to reverse kidney damage in diabetic mice. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 5 poster presentations at national and international conferences. Her publications had been cited at least 19 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client’s] work here points the way for other researchers in determining the exact role of sodium and whether sodium is getting into these patients form other avenues.”  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. Her NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 5 days.
