Case Summary:

“Perhaps the greatest impact of [the client’s] work, however, is how it aids the United States' healthcare system in its fight against chronic liver disease. Currently, 1 in 10 Americans has chronic liver disease, the rising rate of which has been linked to the exponential growth in obesity rates. 20-30% of adults are estimated to have excess fat in the liver, known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which has incredibly serious consequences and often requires a liver transplant to fix. He has utilized his skill with large-scale database statistical analysis and gastroenterology to clarify the best early diagnostic methods and behaviors for chronic liver diseases, with an overall goal of identifying at-risk groups and developing new therapeutic routines, a skill which has also proven applicable to other types of diseases such as respiratory diseases like COVID-19. To this end, [the client’s] work is clearly of substantial national value.”

This statement is one of the many testimonials issued in favor of a client who had come to us for his National Interest Waiver application filing from Jordan. The statement clarifies that his credentials in the field of gastroenterology are indeed of great value to the United States. Other information pieces that our team collected for his petition were as follows:

  • His proposed endeavor is to work on better understanding the epidemiological patterns and risk factors of chronic diseases by developing and utilizing large-scale databases and statistical analysis in order to develop new clinical intervention strategies and treatment options for chronic diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
  • His work advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it improves the diagnosis and treatment of celiac and liver disease.
  • His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States where liver disease is common, affecting about 1 in 10 or 30 million Americans across the country.
  • His work has resulted in 9 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored). And they have been cited a total of 30 times according to Google Scholar. The outstanding rates at which the client’s papers have been cited indicate that others in his discipline have relied on his results to an exceptional degree.
  • Along with this, we said that our client’s work in investigating the epidemiological patterns and risk patterns of chronic diseases will continue to be circulated to others in the field through the publication of peer-reviewed journal articles as well as conference presentations.
The petition was complete when we added 4 letters of recommendation collected from other experts who corroborated these facts about our client. So when the approval came through, we were delighted to have worked with him on the case. Our firm wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
