Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time. This client is a Research Fellow from Belgium in the field of cardiology. His work has specifically focused on investigating what is known as the “obesity paradox” in relation to coronary heart disease. In order to ensure the success of this case, we submitted extensive documentation of the client’s highly significant contributions to the field of cardiology, including his authorship of 13 peer-reviewed journal articles, which garnered dozens of citations. Additionally, our firm drafted and submitted several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field. One of the independent recommenders noted “[The Petitioner’s] work is transforming the way cardiologists treat patients with coronary heart disease, leading to a lower incidence of death and stronger prognoses among high risk patients.”  With the strong petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, his NIW case was approved in just eight weeks.
