North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an Internal Medicine Resident from India in the field of Transplant Nephrology. His work has focused specifically on elucidating the economic and social factors associated with restricted access to life-saving renal transplantation. As a nephrologist and a general internist, he has developed an innovative Social Adaptability Index (SAI) that can identify patients who are at risk for being unfairly denied kidney transplants or having to wait unreasonably for a transplant. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Transplant Nephrology, including 15 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous abstracts and conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 100 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “One can easily discern the benefits of these conclusions for the U.S. health care system. The country's elderly population is not only its most vulnerable health-wise, but also its most consistent source of high health care costs. And with the nation's overall population aging at a rapid rate, those costs are already beginning to skyrocket even further. Ensuring that we can give seniors with renal disease the best possible care while also limiting costs is one of the most important possible goals in the health care field - and [client] has successfully met that goal. For this reason, I believe him to be a great asset to the field, and a guaranteed source of future innovation in nephrology.” 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 20 days.
