Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was hired by a scientist from Italy to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client, who has a doctorate in biomedical engineering, is working on electrocardiograms (ECGs) and biomedical devices to improve patient care and drug safety.
Our EB-2 NIW petition included a wealth of information on our client’s accomplishments. These included his 13 publications that had collected 118 citations, and recommendation letters volunteered by professionals in his field of biomedical engineering. One such letter stated that “As a result of his research, [Client] has increased biomedical and medical awareness of ischemic patterning in ECGs and warning signs of cardiac preconditioning, a phenomenon associated with protection against the onset of heart attacks […] Due to the magnitude of this work’s impact on the biomedical engineering and medical fields, the merit of [Client’s] research in the United States becomes quite clear.”
By proving that our client’s research efforts are contributing to the United States medical community, pharmaceutical industry, and overall public health, our law firm played a major role in helping our client get his I-140 approved. We congratulate him on this milestone and wish him the best with his I-485 application (the final step in the green card process).
