General Field: Occupational Health Psychology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Alabama

Approval Notice Date: October 6th, 2021

Processing Time: 8 days (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:

In just 8 days, our client was successful in receiving the EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition approval. Our proficient legal team at North America Immigration Law Group ensures a comprehensive background evaluation of every client who hires us for helping them with their immigration petition to USCIS. Thus, in this case, also before commencing with our client’s case, we investigated her research on occupational stress and safety which seemed to address some of our nation’s most critical issues in understanding methods for improving safety leadership and safety motivation, occupational stress, and recovery among firefighters, and stress prevention climate measures. We were very impressed with her strong background in the industrial and organizational psychology field and the progress she had made in the academic field of research, which secured her reputation as an outstanding professor in the international community of occupational health psychology. Moreover, leading researchers from top universities and research groups from the United States and abroad have submitted letters confirming our client as an outstanding professor in her specialized field.

“If American companies want to help their employees live healthier lives, incorporating the results of her occupational stress and safety studies into their policies and organizational planning is key to improving mental and emotional health outcomes for their employees. In this regard, [client’s] research is undoubted of considerable importance to the United States.”

“The results of her research illustrate the need for companies and management to focus on building distinct climates (i.e., safety, health, and stress prevention) to improve the safety, health, and well-being of their workers.”

These two above-mentioned excerpts have been taken out from 2 of the 4 recommendation letters submitted to the USCIS obtained by her fellow experts from national and international universities, corroborating that her findings have been widely circulated the world in occupational health psychology research circles.

Together we worked very hard with our client to make sure that she developed and gave us all the required documentation we needed to meet the USCIS’s defined guidelines to obtain the EB1B approval. Therefore, with our client’s cordial support and our team’s efficiency, we demonstrated her outstanding educational and professional experience by incorporating the following details in her EB1B petition packet:

  • After reviewing her credentials, we found that our client holds a Ph.D. in psychology, and her research has resulted in 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (8 of them first-authored) and 2 book chapters published in some of the most highly regarded and influential journals in the field. Her publications have accumulated a total of 129 citations from international researchers, indicating the influence that her work has had on her contemporaries in the field as it shows that other scientists are regularly basing their work on her findings.
  • As further evidence of her esteemed status in the field, she has been invited to peer review on at least 30 occasions, proving her respected status as an occupational health psychology researcher. Besides, not only does she perform peer review for multiple journals but also sits on the editorial board of the occupational health science field.

After 8 days of our diligence, we were victorious in winning the EB1B approval. We are super glad that our client could achieve her approval and can continue her work here in the United States without any further obstacles. We thus wish her all the best in all her future endeavors.

Client’s Testimonial:

“It was very easy to work with Chen’s team. They were always on time with their part, always available, and most important to me, they were always patient to reply to my questions. Their documents explaining all the process and how it works was super helpful.

On September 10th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of Infectious Diseases (Approval Notice).


General Field: Infectious Diseases

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow

Country of Origin: Brazil

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania

Approval Notice Date: September 10th, 2021

Processing Time: 11 months, 23 days


Case Summary:

A postdoctoral fellow in the field of infectious diseases approached us with a proposed endeavor to use a glycoimmunology approach to understand and address HIV which seemed relevant to healthcare research, virology, and the medical field as a whole. . Though researchers understand much more about this disease than they did when it first emerged, much remains to be done, her research thus engages with this and related questions directly. This helped us establish the fact that her research was of value to the United States. Based on this, we strategize our approach to her I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition.

We went ahead and accumulated detailed information about her academic and professional background. We saw to it that her needs were understood as were those of the NIW criteria set by USCIS. This became feasible due to our expansive experience in the field, having helped some 25,000+ clients receive optimistic outcomes in their respective cases. We thus included some of the following things in her customized petition packet.

We highlighted that she has obtained a Ph.D. in infectious diseases and her research has resulted in 23 peer-reviewed journal articles (8 of them first-authored or co-first authored). In addition to this, she has been a reviewer for 2 journals and has already conducted at least 4 reviews to date. Also, according to Google Scholar, her publications have been cited a total of 143 times thereby confirming that her publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of infectious diseases.

Moreover, we added four recommendation letters to her petition packet. Extraordinary researchers from elite institutions confirm our client’s use of innovative methodologies, the nature of her breakthroughs, and the ways that her unique findings have been applied throughout the field. Two of the experts had the following to say about her:

“Considering the focus of [client’s] research on HIV co-infections, she is a highly valuable asset to the United States. She has conducted research on HIV co-infections with the aforementioned diseases that have resulted in an improved understanding of why HIV-infected individuals are at a greater risk for these diseases. Consequently, [client’s] research is of great importance to HIV-positive Americans who have higher risks of contracting other diseases like EBV, KSHV, and HCV”

“[Client’s] studies on thalidomide and auranofin have provided new insight into the use of the drugs to treat and even cure HIV, which is a major development. For these reasons, [client] must be provided the opportunity to continue her research in the United States to further investigate therapeutic approaches for HIV, which improves the lives of millions of people around the world.”

As demonstrated by the above evidence, our client’s proposed endeavor also has national importance as the WHO estimates that about 38 million people worldwide have HIV, our client’s research represents a valuable contribution to efforts to more effectively address HIV.

All of these factors aided by the excellent case preparation strategy employed by our experts, helped her obtain her NIW (National Interest Waiver) application approval. We are grateful to her for her continued trust in us. We wish her the very best in her life.

Client’s Testimonial:

“It’s great news. I’m very happy to know that it was approved. Thank you very much for your work.”


On June 6th, 2021, we received another EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Infectious Diseases (Approval Notice).


General Field: Infectious Diseases

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York

Approval Notice Date: June 6th, 2021

Processing Time: 10 days (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:

In this case of EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers), our client is an associate in her current position in the field of infectious diseases whose research focuses on developing diagnostic approaches for DNA viruses and vaccine development strategies for diseases such as tuberculosis which is crucial in understanding the immune response in human biology and elucidating antibody-mediated protection methods. Our aim was to persuade the USCIS of her strong background in antibody research, diagnostic assay development and characterization, and virus vectors, which have broad applications in public health, particularly in the realm of epidemiology and immunology. Thus, we agreed to present her EB1B case to the USCIS by outlining the most important factors in her petition packet:

We incorporated her qualification and professional background and explored that she held a Ph.D. in infectious diseases, immunology, and viral diagnostics with a commendable record of 17 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 letter to the editor she published in only prestigious, top-ranked journals in the field and has subsequently been cited extensively and at a rate much greater than that of her peers and colleagues i.e. 598 citations obtained by several experts in countries including the United States, Germany, and Japan, demonstrating the broad reach of her studies, whereas citations are one of the highest forms of honor given to a researcher, our client’s citations show that her work is trusted and reliable. In addition, we noted that she is also active in the scientific community as a peer reviewer for many discerning journals and has already conducted at least 25 peer reviews, confirming her actual participation as a judge of the work of fellow researchers in the field, and she is very well worthy of continued support by the United States.

Moreover, to enhance her EB-1B petition, we included the following in her petition packet, her employment letter describing her current position, demonstrating at least 3 years of research experience in the field, a copy of the original offer letter for her current position, evidence of the well-recognized college of medicine’s ability to pay her well, along with four recommendation letters provided by other superior experts in the field, supporting our client’s research continuation in the United States. Therefore, one of the researchers opinionated:

“Much of [client’s] work focuses on methods for diagnosing and subsequently treating infectious diseases through the use of immunoassays. This work is vital for the field of infectious diseases, as the market for these types of technologies is growing rapidly… Her work ensures the accuracy of these devices, which is important for improving their effective utilization in the medical field. Early and accurate detection of disease is critical for successful treatment of numerous infectious diseases, meaning that her work presents immediate medical benefits in the United States.”

10 days after North America Immigration Law Group filed the petition, the USCIS granted her EB1B case approval. Due to our great experience on how USCIS adjudicates employment-based petitions and how to uniquely use our legal strategies to win the petition approval, this case got added as more success to our 17K+ successful case approvals. As our client has also retained our services for her I-485 applications, we wish her to get the approval soon and obtain her green card sooner. We sincerely appreciate our client for associating with us and trusting our law firm throughout the process and wish her all the best for her future endeavors.

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thanks again for your hard work on this!”


On May 6th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Student in the Field of Public Health (Approval Notice).


General Field: Public Health

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Student

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New Jersey

Approval Notice Date: May 6th, 2021

Processing Time: 8 months, 4 days


Case Summary:

A Ph.D. student, holding a master of public health and a master of science in health sciences, exhibiting the required expertise to secure the national interest waiver. She hired North America Immigration Law Group to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf to persuade USCIS of her cutting-edge research on the quality of healthcare services, health outcomes based on oral health, and health disparities among head and neck cancer patients, addressing our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including important public health concerns. After evaluating her credentials, we deduced that her strong background in dental-medical care integration and quality measurement in healthcare must allow her research to be continued in the United States to improve the quality of healthcare services and health outcomes based on oral health, and revealing health disparities among head and neck cancer patients. We agreed to take her case and started gathering an array of important details to incorporate them in her petition package:

  • We noted that our client is a uniquely valuable researcher whose work has high translational value for studies in the public health field. In order for progress in the field to continue at its present pace, her studies must continue unabated. Therefore, experts in the field who are familiar with her superior level of achievement elaborate on her substantial role in advancing public health. Four of them were obliged to sign her recommendation letters, and one of them stated the following:

“[Client] is conducting research with national implications for decreasing the morbidity, mortality, and societal and economic impact of head and neck cancer, which is one of the few cancers in the United States that has continued to increase in incidence. I have no doubt she will continue to contribute meaningfully to science in a matter that favorably impacts the national interests of the United States.”

  • In addition, we specified our client’s publications, the 23 peer-reviewed scientific articles, which have been cited 183 times. Unsurprisingly, her research in this field has attracted considerable attention from the scientific community, including her work on uncovering inequalities in access to adequate oral healthcare. Also, she has spent years investigating issues related to the quality of healthcare services, oral health-associated health outcomes, and health disparities among head and neck cancer patients and is regarded as an authority in the field. The field has recognized her authority by inviting her to review and evaluate the work of her peers no fewer than 23 times. Thus, her consistent peer review experience thus serves as further evidence of her prestige in the field.
  • Besides, in the recognition of her work, we observed that she has essentially contributed to projects that have interested funding from national-level organizations, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Also, she received funding grants from the PCORI, an independent nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that was authorized by Congress in 2010 to fund research that is focused on outcomes important for patients, given their circumstances and preferences. Hence, this support from these three prestigious institutions confirms the importance of her investigation into improving the quality of healthcare services.

We are delighted that we were able to prove to USCIS that her research directly addresses the key challenges faced by the American healthcare system, including health disparities and sub-optimal quality of care, that contribute to overall poorer health outcomes. By identifying and characterizing these factors affecting health outcomes, she is increasing the equity, efficacy, and cost-efficiency of the American healthcare system to support the health and economic wellbeing of the nation. Therefore, she was granted her NIW approval successfully, and we sincerely thank her for choosing us for her I-140 case preparation. We wish her well in her future endeavors.

To further support our client’s petition, we included recommendation letters obtained by him from 4 fellow experts, stating how our client’s work is vital. The following excerpts have been taken from two of the submitted letters:

“[Client’s] advanced data management techniques and his deep look at the connection between socioeconomic factors and treatment outcomes are representative of his critical place within the field of clinical epidemiology.”

“It is without hesitation that I declare he is a prolific and influential researcher. The healthcare sector overall and the health of millions, stand to benefit from [client’s]continued work in the United States.”

With over 17,000 approved cases, we have unprecedented expertise in handling I-140 petitions. When our client approached our law firm, we kept him updated about all the adjudicating trends of USCIS and accordingly customized his EB-1A petition. A big thanks to premium processing (PP) service, which is a paid option offered by the USCIS that allows petitioners to enjoy accelerated adjudication (the case will be processed within 15 days instead of 9-12 months).

Gladly, our client was able to achieve his EB-1A approval just in 10 days with the PP request. We are happy to be able to help our client and wish him well as he advances in his chosen path.

Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group was hired to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a teaching faculty member from Nigeria. Before documenting our client’s case, we assessed her planned research work in the field of public health, focusing on alcohol use disorder and HPV in order to develop strategies to mitigate their effects and prevalence through education and research.

Case Summary:

We were hired to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a researcher from France. When our client contacted us and requested to assist her with the process, our skilled team advised her with the required list of documents. Once our client was able to submit the relevant information, we started documenting a strong case on her behalf. Firstly, we outlined her academic background and noted that she possessed a Ph.D. in cognitive neurosciences and wants to continue her work on investigating the underlying factors of post-traumatic stress disorder and other anxiety disorders using techniques such as functional MRI and how it aids in developing improved treatments for the suggested disorders.

Also, we advised her to provide us with a few recommendations in support of her built case, and she was able to obtain four recommendation letters from fellow specialists in the field. One of the well-known researchers contributed the below statement:

“THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!”


On March 25th, 2020, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Associate Director in the Field of Public Health (Approval Notice).


General Field: Public Health

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Associate Director

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Connecticut

Approval Notice Date: March 25th, 2020

Processing Time: 9 months, 22 days


Case Summary:

With a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.B.S) and ample experience in the field of public health, our client (an associate director from India) was a suitable candidate for the national interest waiver. When he approached us to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we meticulously evaluated his credentials to confirm if we could build a strong case for him. After determining that we could, we initiated the attorney-client relationship and got to work building a solid case for our client.

Our client’s notable publication record made it simple for us to demonstrate to the USCIS that his research efforts have led to important findings. We highlighted the 13 peer-reviewed journal articles and 9 case reports in his name as well as the 194 times his work was cited by other researchers. We also carefully reviewed the 41 times our client judged the work of his peers.

Furthermore, we detailed his investigations on the biological and biomedical applications of hormesis and the optimal dose of radiation in human subjects, and proved to the USCIS that his work is beneficial to the US. In a nutshell, we established that our client’s research results have directly contributed to the advancement of widespread public health. Additionally, his research in this area is of great importance because it expands the applications of the principles of hormesis in medicine including use of low dose radiation to treat inflammatory and infectious diseases and improves preventative strategies for malaria.

In a bid to further fortify our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, we incorporated recommendation letters provided by six other experts working in the field. According to one of them: “[Client] is a public health specialist whose findings on the hormetic effects of low dose radiation have great bearing on the resumption of nuclear power’s role in the U.S. as a safe energy source. [Client’s] findings have presented a clearer understanding for public health professionals and regulators regarding the effect of low dose ionizing radiation, showing that it does not present the danger that many have assumed.”

We are pleased that our hard work paid off and that our client secured an NIW petition approval. We join him as he celebrates this momentous milestone and thank him for working with North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com).

“I’m excited to share the news that my approval notice for I-140 has arrived in mail. Thank you for putting together a strong case on my behalf!


On June 22nd, 2019, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Specialist in the Field of Dermatology (Approval Notice).

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Specialist

Country of Origin: South Korea

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: June 22nd, 2019

Processing Time: 6 months, 12 days


Case Summary:

A South Korean research specialist in the field of dermatology hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreend.com) to build and file a customized EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. As exemplified by the over 15,000 petition approvals we had helped our previous clients, she knew that we would offer comprehensive advice and successfully petition her case. A thorough review of our client’s academic profile helped us establish that her specialized research is focused on examining the pathogenesis and treatment of dermatological issues such as vitiligo and atopic dermatitis. With our help, her case was approved in less than 7 months.

To prepare a strong NIW case for our client, we first assisted our client to select appropriate recommenders. The letters signed by notable experts working in her field staunchly supported the approval of our client’s NIW petition. According to one of these recommenders, our client‘s work is important to the US as it “promotes the health and welfare of the American people in the face of the increasing burden of atopic dermatitis.

Case Summary:

Our client for this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition is a PhD candidate and researcher who conducts research in the ever-expanding field of Epidemiology. With an MS in Biomedical Sciences and extensive experience working in the same field, our client has amassed a wealth of knowledge that allows him to continuously attain successful research results that benefit the United States.

Our client’s specialized research on malaria and helminth infections contribute to an enhanced understanding on how environment and culture affect disease progression and its effective prevention strategies. Additionally, his research works on helminth infections is relevant to studies on parasitic infections in the United States, where millions of Americans develop undetected infections annually. His proposed research is therefore also nationally important. Besides, we submitted evidence for his successful research-35 peer-reviewed journal articles with a total of 615 citations, as well as 27 reviews conducted for multiple highly acclaimed journals. These achievements indicated that his works have not only profoundly benefited the field of epidemiology, but gone on to influence his peers and colleagues.

By detailing his most notable research projects, we have successfully argued that his findings are widely applicable and immensely practical, and it is reasonable to conclude that his future research will yield equally valuable results. The excerpt from a noted expert below can confirm that our client is widely recognized and relied upon in his discipline: “Moreover, the United States requires multidisciplinary researchers dedicated to investigating diseases plaguing society. If the government is dedicated to equipping the country with the best researchers to fight any epidemic, then [Client] is an obvious choice for the task… His research has proven practical value, thereby stressing the importance of maintaining his work in the United States”.

We handled his case with utmost attentiveness and made sure every necessary evidence regarding the significance of our client’s research was presented. His NIW petition was approved in only 6 months and 10 days. We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of his case and for giving us an opportunity to be a part of his success story.
