Case Summary:  

We are delighted to be a part of this success story, as our client, a research technician from Iran working in the field of nutrition, secured her I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval. At the time she hired North America Immigration Law Group to help her file the NIW petition, her work and research had:

  • 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored).
  • Her publications have been cited a total of 72 times, according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of nutrition.
Our experienced legal team helped her navigate the I-140 process by compiling the strongest evidence for her petition packet:
  • We confirmed that her proposed endeavor is to investigate and analyze the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and ketogenic diets on Alzheimer's disease progression in order to develop evidence-based dietary guidelines and interventions.
  • Specifically, she will investigate the impact of nutrition, particularly lipids and ketogenic diets, on brain health and Alzheimer's disease progression; conduct blood processing and nutrient data analysis; assist in the preparation of research publications and conference presentations; elucidate the relationship between nutrition and the onset of disease; and develop impactful dietary interventions for chronic conditions.
  • Moreover, we secured three recommendation letters for her petition packet. One of the expert recommenders noted:

[Client] is advancing maternal health outcomes, reducing chronic disease risks, and minimizing cognitive decline across generations through her comprehensive analysis of how stress affects eating competence during pregnancy and postpartum periods. As a result, she contributes to better public health outcomes and decreased healthcare costs in the United States. Beyond that, her work lays the foundation for targeted stress management interventions and aligns with national preventive health strategies. [Client] supports healthcare innovation and drives progress in preventing conditions like diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer's disease by advancing nutritional science research. For these reasons and more, her work should continue in the United States.”

All of these factors clearly demonstrate that our client is a highly knowledgeable expert in topics related to her proposed endeavor. By providing independent researchers from around the world with useful approaches to the study of complex topics within the field of nutrition, she has proven her influence. That other researchers consistently look to her methods and findings to inform and guide their own studies indicates that she is well-positioned to make further useful discoveries in the field of nutrition.

These facts, aided by the excellent case preparation strategy employed by our experts, helped her obtain her NIW (National Interest Waiver) application approval in just 1 month and 20 days. We are grateful to her for her continued trust in us, and we wish her the very best in her life.
