Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much for your help and support from the free evaluation till my I-140 approval.”

On April 22^nd, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Clinical Fellow in the Field of Radiology (Approval Notice).

General Field: Radiology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Clinical Fellow

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York

Approval Notice Date: April 22^nd, 2025

Processing Time: 4 months, 11 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

When patients face cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, every diagnostic decision counts. For one radiology researcher, improving those decisions has been the driving force of his work. His innovations focus on developing advanced imaging techniques and AI-assisted post-processing methods designed to reduce radiation exposure and shorten procedural time. The goal? Safer imaging, faster diagnostics, and higher quality patient care.

With this high-impact research in hand, the petitioner partnered with the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to pursue a National Interest Waiver (NIW). NAILG’s team carefully constructed a petition that framed his work not just as technically sophisticated, but as nationally urgent. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to account for enormous financial and health losses in the U.S., and the petition showed how his imaging solutions directly contribute to addressing these burdens.

Beyond innovation, our client has demonstrated scholarly commitment and community engagement:

● 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 first-authored)

● 1 abstract contributing to knowledge-sharing at scientific meetings

● 15 completed peer reviews for professional journals

● 15 total citations, reflecting a growing influence in clinical research

One expert who supported the petition noted the clinical value of this work:

“By demonstrating that celiac trunk dimensions and SMA proximity are only marginally correlated and how rare cognitive disorders like Sturge-Weber differ from other similar diseases, [client] has made these challenges easier to resolve in scientific research and clinical settings. To be more specific, his findings allow surgeons and radiologists to make accurate and safer decisions about a patient’s treatment options and create treatment methodologies specific to diseases conventionally challenging to treat.”

With the petition now approved, our client is well-positioned to continue building solutions that matter to clinicians, to patients, and to the broader U.S. healthcare system. NAILG is proud to have supported this case and remains committed to guiding professionals whose research improves lives and reshapes clinical care.
