Case Summary:
The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Chief Resident from India. His work has focused specifically on the safety of treatment strategies for hypertension and renal disease. 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 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, 8 peer-reviewed abstracts, and multiple conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 40 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] and colleagues found that the incidence of angioedema with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and direct renin inhibitors (DRI) was less than 50%, while the same risk was higher in treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This breakdown of angioedema risk reported by [client] and his colleagues now serves as a fundamental resource for cardiologists treating the millions of patients that suffer worldwide from conditions requiring the use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors.” 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 10 months and 5 days.
