Case Summary:

Our client, a Researcher from Iran, approached us to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver Petition) on his behalf.

He has completed his Ph.D. in aquatic animal health and as an expert in the field of Microbiology, his proposed endeavor is to identify, produce, and develop new probiotics to improve the growth and immunity of animals and control, prevent, and treat infectious diseases.

He plans to continue his research on the identification, production, and development of new probiotics to improve the growth and immunity of animals and control, prevent, and treat infectious diseases, especially those found in fish and poultry. Therefore, to make a persuasive case in his favor, we included the following details in his petition packet:

• His work has resulted in 32 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) and 1 book.
• His publications have been cited a total of 333 times according to Google Scholar.
• He has even received 4 recommendation letters from his fellow experts in the field. One of the recommenders stated:

“The US itself stands only to benefit from [client's] continued work…Probiotics are an excellent alternative, as they circumvent issues related to antibiotic resistance, enhance immunity, and reduce any adverse effects. In studying them, [client] has directly addressed some of the US’s most pressing challenges as they relate to aquaculture. He must be afforded all opportunities to continue his research.”

Thus, our client has provided independent researchers from around the world with useful approaches to the study of complex topics within the field of microbiology. That other researchers consistently look to his methods and findings to inform and guide their studies indicates that he is well-positioned to make further useful discoveries in the field of microbiology.

Also, based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most up-to-date winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take. However, there are certain prerequisites to be fulfilled by an individual including:

• The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
• The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
• A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.

Therefore, our client’s impressive background, strong record of past achievements, recognition of expertise by journals seeking his services to review manuscripts, and unique knowledge relevant to his current and future work indicate not only that he qualifies as an alien of extraordinary ability but also that his entry will substantially benefit prospectively the United States

On that account, he received his NIW approval in just 7 months, and 17 days. We are pleased to have been a part of his success story and would like to wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors.
