In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a Jordanian epidemiologist, who had focused specifically on applying advanced biophysical and mathematical models to the problem of managing and analyzing human health conditions. As part of our successful strategy for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, which included 13 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers and presentations. This work had received at least 517 citations by the time we filed his case, nearly all of which were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in his field. We also showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field as a whole and the people of the United States in general. We successfully argued 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 10 months and 5 days.
