Case Summary:
Our client, an associate professor from the nation of Pakistan, hired the North America Immigration Law Group to assist her in filing for an NIW petition. Possessing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa permits the holder to become a lawful permanent resident within the United States. We began an investigation into her background to see if she would be able to meet the criteria listed by the USCIS to secure such a visa.
First, we checked to see if she had an advanced degree and found that she had a Ph.D. in oral biology. This means she fulfills that requirement. As for her endeavor, she intends to develop environmentally friendly, economical, and safe drugs for treating oral cavity diseases to improve patient outcomes. After our analysis, we concluded there was a good chance for approval, and agreed to accept her case. The customized petition package we created contained the following details, in addition to the ones above:
Our client has been a great contributor to academia, publishing 32 peer-reviewed journal articles (15 of them first-authored) and 1 conference paper (first-authored). Her works have also been published in no less than 4 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals. To further lend credence to her contributions, her papers have also been cited a total of 100 times at the time of the petition’s filing, with several of her papers also being among the most highly cited within their field and year of publication. Her research is of national importance as it plays a vital role in reducing unnecessary healthcare spending and lost productivity due to preventable oral diseases, costing $45 billion every year in productivity losses alone. This research doesn’t only have applications within dentistry, but the environment as well, as 80% of American water streams were found to contain pharmaceuticals, hormones, and organic wastewater contaminants, highlighting the urgent need for her research into environmentally friendly and economical drugs. Our client has also received support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to further her research, lending further proof to the importance of this work.
To conclude, thanks to the work of our committed team, alongside the USCIS’s premium processing service, we managed to get her petition’s approval in 3 days. We thank our client for having faith in our team and hope for her success.
