Approval Notice Date: August 16th, 2021
Processing Time: 9 months, 24 days
Case Summary:
In October of 2020, North America Immigration Law Group was approached by a Turkish postdoctoral research fellow working in the field of biomedicine to help him file an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. So we employed our team of experts and attorneys to first carefully chart his past experiences and expertise and then make a detailed list of his achievements. We then used this information to build a solid case in the form of a customized petition packet. We ensured that the petition contained the following information:
- As an expert in the field of biomedicine, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on refining the performance and portability of electronic phenotyping algorithms and genetic risk prediction models across healthcare systems to develop risk models of cardiovascular diseases and other atherosclerotic diseases to improve patient care for these diseases.
- As evidence of his contributions, his work has also resulted in 10 peer-reviewed journal articles.
- His publications have been cited a total of 41 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of biomedicine.
- He has already conducted at least 8 reviews, including reviews for international magazines of repute.
- Additionally, his projects have been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the National Cancer Institute, all of which are components of the NIH. It was also funded by the Million Veterans Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Overall, the United States is in great need of [client’s] research, specifically because of his focus on biomarkers of heart disease in minority populations. [Client’s] research helps bridge the minority-related gaps in heart disease research by identifying novel loci and other biomarkers for heart diseases in genetic data. Such insights are essential for the development and implementation of successful measures for addressing and preventing increased heart disease risks for minority populations in the United States. By lowering the heart disease-related disparities between American minority populations and the larger white population, [client’s] work fills an essential need for American cardiology research.”
We are thus thankful to him to have hired us for his NIW petition, and we wish him the very best in life.
