Success Story: NAILG Helped a Lecturer Secure NIW Success with Premium Processing Service

Client’s Testimonial:

“I was pleased to work with NAILG. I received timely, knowledgeable, concrete, and relevant information when I needed it, and the firm let me know with clarity the kind of information they needed from me. The communication and the process for sharing documents and information were efficient and felt secure. I was able to get in touch with the lawyer in charge of my case when I needed it. And most importantly, I feel that NAILG was good in presenting my strong profile in a strong way so that it would pass the standard for an EB-2 NIW. In my case, knowing that the firm offered to back their work with their “Approval or Refund” was an important element that made me confident in the process. In an environment that focuses heavily on STEM fields for this kind of visa, I was happy to find a firm that was open to working with a scholar in the humanities and social sciences, and I would recommend NAILG to others in a similar position.”

Case Summary:

With NAILG’s guidance, a social philosophy scholar has earned EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval in recognition of his impactful contributions to advancing philosophical discourse and addressing issues of diversity and inclusion in the United States. Holding a Ph.D. in philosophy, he has developed a distinguished record of research at the intersection of social philosophy, philosophy of perception, and Latin American philosophy.

His proposed endeavor focuses on creating innovative philosophical approaches that integrate interdisciplinary perspectives to elucidate the complex nature of perception, human sociality, and social identities. This research has broad applications, enhancing philosophical inquiry while also informing fields such as social psychology and cognitive sciences. More importantly, his work provides valuable insights for education, professional practice, and policy-making in an increasingly diverse society, making it an endeavor of clear national importance.

The importance of this work is reflected in his strong academic record. He has authored ten first-authored peer-reviewed journal articles, one first-authored conference article, and one first-authored book. His scholarship has been cited 67 times, demonstrating its influence and adoption within the academic community. His frameworks have also been implemented by peers in areas such as education, behavior analysis, and applied philosophy, underscoring the practical value of his research.

This NIW approval underscores both the national relevance of his contributions and the strength of the petition prepared by NAILG. With this success, he is now positioned to continue shaping critical conversations in social philosophy and its applications to diversity, inclusion, and equity in the United States. NAILG is proud to have supported this case and looks forward to his ongoing contributions.
