Case Summary:

Just 3 months after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, an advanced endoscopy fellow who was born in Germany received notification of case approval. Our client has comprehensive knowledge of gastroenterology and many years of experience conducting research in this field, making him an ideal candidate for the national interest waiver.

“[Client] has completed and presented research projects of exceptional value to the field of gastroenterology.”

The quote above was taken from a recommendation letter signed by a prominent professor in the field of gastroenterology. In total, six of our client’s peers volunteered their support by signing recommendation letters. In part, these letters contained brief descriptions of our client’s work and its impact on the United States’ leading role in medical research and advanced medical care, mainly through understandings of disease incidence, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

“Others have recognized the critical nature of his research and have applied his methods or results in their own work. [Client’s] papers have been cited more than fifty different times. Such an elevated rate of research citation is a testimonial in and of itself to the vital nature of his research.”

In line with the statement above, our client’s exact credentials amounted to 58 citations and 13 published scientific articles at the time of filing. These figures denoted the success of his various research projects focused on the many causes and diagnostics of gastrointestinal diseases.

“Depriving him [Client] of the opportunity to continue research in the United States would be directly detrimental to the advancement of national gastroenterological research.”

The thorough EB-2 NIW petition packet that we put together contained persuasive evidence of the many benefits of our client’s research to the United States. We also proved that not many other researchers with similar qualifications can take his place as an authority figure in the field.

We congratulate our client for getting significantly closer to green card success, and we wish him and his wife the best as they adjust their status for permanent residence by filing I-485 applications. Once the USCIS approves their applications, they will obtain their green cards.
