Case Summary:
Our client, a Pakistani staff psychiatrist, hired the North American Immigration Law Group to assist in preparing his EB-2 NIW petition. Based on our background check, we found that he was researching neurocognitive and depressive disorders in the geriatric population to address the growing burden of neuropsychiatric disorders. We concluded that he would have a strong case to argue, and began to draft his customized petition package, with the following details:
- Our client has an M.D. which indicates his possession of an advanced degree.
- Our client’s academic record is well-documented, with a publishing record of 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of them first-authored), with his work being published in no less than 3 highly-ranked journals.
- His work has also been influential, with 62 citations at the time of his petition.
- His work is also of national importance, as his research assists in improving healthcare capabilities and minimizing the economic consequences of Alzheimer’s and depression, which is a prevalent disease in the U.S., affecting over 6 million Americans and predicted to cost the U.S. $345 billion by the end of 2023. In addition, his research into depression would be of great value, as approximately 18.4% of adults in America have received a depression diagnosis, highlighting the prevalence of the condition.
- His research has also been funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), showing that his research is important enough to have received such support.
- We found that he had also received 2 different letters of recommendation from various experts worldwide, 1 of whom said:
Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case. With the help of the USCIS’s premium processing service, we secured approval for his NIW petition in a matter of 7 days.
