The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Pediatric Resident from Norway. His work had focused specifically on the identification of novel risk factors for kidney and cardiovascular disease in type 1 and 2 diabetes, investigating the relationships between renal health and cardiopulmonary fitness in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, characterization and analysis of the associations of serum uric acid and insulin sensitivity in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes, and systematization and organization of the evidence for childhood obesity as a predictive risk factor of adult obesity and obesity-related disorders. 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 19 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 61 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] is committed to the study of vascular complications in diabetes and to the development of therapies to mitigate the impact of these devastating diseases and is contributing meaningfully to clinical research in pediatric endocrinology in the United States.” 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 8 days.
