Case Summary:

We are pleased to announce the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval of a general dentist and oral health educator from India. At the time of filing, the client was engaged in practice and research aimed at improving oral health outcomes in underserved communities. His record of peer-reviewed publications and independent citations supported a persuasive case for NIW approval.

Research with Substantial Merit and National Importance

The client’s proposed endeavor is to identify and address barriers to oral healthcare through evidence-based public health research and community-focused dental outreach. His work emphasizes school-based prevention, culturally competent education, and pragmatic clinical improvements that reduce preventable dental disease and improve long-term outcomes in resource-limited settings. Because oral health disparities contribute to broader public-health and economic burdens, this endeavor aligns with national priorities in prevention, health equity, and access to care.

Well Positioned to Advance the Proposed Endeavor

The client holds advanced training in dentistry and public health and has a demonstrated record of scholarship and community engagement. He has authored 4 peer-reviewed journal articles, and his work has received 18 independent citations. His publications span pediatric oral health behaviors, access-to-care barriers, and cost-effective endodontic protocols, showing both population-level insight and clinical applicability. These results, together with his ongoing practice and outreach, demonstrate that he is well-positioned to continue advancing the proposed endeavor in the United States.

Expert Recognition

Independent recommenders emphasized the originality and public health value of his work.

One expert wrote:

“Through his continued efforts, [Client] contributes to a healthier and more informed population, supporting the long-term goal of achieving equitable access to and delivery of oral healthcare.”

This testimony underscores the national importance of his research, showing how his contributions strengthen public health and advance equity in dental care across the United States.
