Case Summary:

We are pleased to share the success story of an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval granted to an expert from India whose research is helping advance infectious disease control and internal medicine. At the time of filing, the client was employed as an assistant professor of medicine and had already produced impactful work in the field of biomedical life sciences.

Well Positioned to Advance the Proposed Endeavor and Research of National Importance:
The client’s proposed endeavor focuses on addressing critical clinical problems in internal medicine, with a specific emphasis on infectious, gastrointestinal, and hematology-oncology diseases. His research aims to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based research and clinical practice, an area that holds both substantial merit and clear national importance. His work has directly contributed to enhancing public health preparedness and guiding clinical strategies, especially during global health crises.

We demonstrated that the client is exceptionally well-positioned to advance his proposed endeavor. His educational foundation includes an M.B.B.S. degree, a medical license in the United States, and completion of the USMLE exams. He has also contributed significantly to advancing research on COVID-19, viral immunology, and drug efficacy, including detailed analyses of remdesivir, Omicron variants, and proton pump inhibitors. These studies have informed both academic and clinical practices in meaningful ways.

Research Output and Scholarly Impact:
The client has authored 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 4 preprints, 2 abstracts, and 1 book chapter. His research has been cited 136 times to date, and several of his publications have ranked among the top-most-cited articles in their respective fields and years. These high citation percentiles underscore the influence and originality of his contributions.

Final Determination:
NAILG presented a compelling case demonstrating that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements would benefit the United States. USCIS granted the client’s I-140 NIW petition in less than two months from filing to decision, recognizing the client’s substantial contributions and the national interest of his continued work. This approval reinforces NAILG’s commitment to supporting researchers whose work makes a lasting difference in public health and medicine.
