Case Summary:

The North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) is delighted to announce the successful approval of an I-140 petition under the EB-2 category with a National Interest Waiver (NIW) for an accomplished medical professional in the field of urology. Filed in May 2024 and later upgraded to premium processing, the petition was approved in March 2025, affirming our client’s valuable contributions to advancing urological science and care in the United States.

Our client, who holds an M.D., is a practicing urologist whose research focuses on robotic surgery, erectile dysfunction, and urologic oncology. He is currently employed in a clinical and research capacity, where he continues to develop diagnostic and treatment strategies that enhance surgical outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients with urological conditions. His endeavor aims to expand the knowledge base in urology, support healthcare innovation, and deliver more effective interventions for some of the most prevalent men’s health issues.

To establish the national importance and individual merit of the client’s work, NAILG provided comprehensive evidence, including:

Publication Record: The client has authored 6 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 of which is first-authored, and 2 abstracts, including 1 first-authored piece.
Citation Metrics: His body of work has been cited 65 times by fellow researchers, underscoring the growing impact and practical value of his findings within the urology and surgical communities.
Research Influence: Several of his articles rank in the top 20% most cited papers in Clinical Medicine for their publication years. His studies on vibro-elastography for erectile dysfunction, metastasis-directed radiation therapy for bladder cancer, and robotic treatment of recurrent renal cell carcinoma have informed the clinical decisions of specialists across multiple institutions.
Peer Review Work: His credibility as a researcher is further evidenced by his contributions as a peer reviewer, validating his active engagement and recognized expertise in the academic evaluation process.
Ongoing Endeavor: In his current position, the client continues to perform complex robotic surgeries, conduct outcomes-based clinical research, and publish findings aimed at improving care for patients facing prostate, kidney, and bladder cancers, as well as erectile dysfunction and other urological disorders.

To support the petition, two letters of recommendation from senior figures in urology were submitted, affirming the originality and clinical relevance of the client’s research and his standing as an innovator in the field.

“By confirming that UVE is an effective tool for assessing penile tissue changes, his findings offer clinicians a non-invasive and reliable means of diagnosing and monitoring these prevalent conditions. Considering these factors, it is imperative that [Client’s] research in urology is secured and supported by the United States.”

By meticulously addressing each prong of the Dhanasar framework, including a strong response to national interest and feasibility, NAILG successfully demonstrated the client’s eligibility for a national interest waiver. The approval reflects both the quality of the petition and the critical role our client plays in advancing public health through specialized surgical innovation and disease management.

We are proud to have assisted this talented physician in securing NIW approval and look forward to seeing the continued impact of his research and clinical leadership on urological care in the United States.

Para estabelecer a importância nacional e o mérito individual do trabalho do cliente, o NAILG forneceu um conjunto abrangente de evidências, incluindo:

Para reforçar a petição, foram submetidas duas cartas de recomendação de líderes sêniores em urologia, afirmando a originalidade e relevância clínica da pesquisa do cliente e seu papel como inovador na área.

Um dos recomendantes declarou:

“Ao confirmar que a UVE é uma ferramenta eficaz para avaliar mudanças no tecido peniano, suas descobertas oferecem aos médicos um meio não invasivo e confiável de diagnosticar e monitorar essas condições prevalentes. Considerando esses fatores, é fundamental que a pesquisa de [Cliente] em urologia seja assegurada e apoiada pelos Estados Unidos.”

Ao abordar cuidadosamente cada etapa do critério Dhanasar, incluindo respostas sólidas sobre interesse nacional e viabilidade, o NAILG demonstrou com sucesso a elegibilidade do cliente para o National Interest Waiver. A aprovação reflete tanto a qualidade da petição quanto o papel essencial que nosso cliente desempenha no avanço da saúde pública por meio de inovação cirúrgica especializada e manejo de doenças.
