Case Summary

An EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition prepared by NAILG was recently approved for an applied microeconomics expert from Bangladesh whose research focuses on reducing inequality of opportunity in healthcare access, human capital formation, and labor market outcomes. At the time of filing, the client had already produced influential research on healthcare-seeking behaviors and health shock expenditures, providing critical insights into the economic challenges faced by individuals in low-income environments.

Research with Substantial Merit and National Importance:
The client’s proposed endeavor aims to continue advancing microeconomic policy research through state-of-the-art empirical research design and econometric methods. This work is particularly important in understanding healthcare-seeking behaviors and the economic burdens associated with health shocks. By analyzing why individuals delay or refuse medical care, especially for chronic or serious conditions, the research provides vital evidence for designing interventions that reduce disparities in healthcare access. These findings have significant policy implications for improving both patient outcomes and the equitable distribution of healthcare resources, making the work of substantial merit and national importance.

Evidence of Accomplishments:
The petition highlighted the client’s strong record of academic and professional achievements, including:

7 peer-reviewed journal articles documenting his findings.
76 citations to his published work, reflecting its recognition and influence.
Completion of at least 2 peer reviews for respected academic journals.
Supportive testimony emphasizing the importance of his findings: “His findings are critical for understanding healthcare spending behaviors and providing patients with necessary avenues for treatment and coverage.”

NIW Approval and Outlook:
The approval of this NIW petition confirms USCIS’s recognition of the client’s impactful work and his capacity to continue addressing issues of healthcare inequality through applied microeconomics research. NAILG is proud to have successfully represented the client in this process and looks forward to his continued contributions to shaping healthcare policy and economic opportunity in the United States.
