Case Summary:

A part-time lecturer hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. With a Ph.D. in sociology and extensive experience researching the same field, our client was suitably qualified for this visa category.

What does it take to build a strong NIW case?

• We documented our client’s citation count (43 citations at the time of filing) as well as his publication record (9 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of them first-authored), 1 book chapter, and 1 book review). We also reviewed his research summary and demonstrated to the USCIS that his work is focused on understanding personal and political representations of Islam in national and global contexts. His research in this area is of great importance because it has helped elucidate the complex dynamics of religion-state relations in post-Soviet Central Asian countries and emphasize the existence of stratification and systematic differences among Muslim Americans. . Our client’s second area of research has focused on health disparities and health policies in post-Soviet Central Asian countries, in particular on HIV/AIDS awareness and its correlation to safe health practices.
• In addition to that, our client’s winning EB-2 NIW petition dossier contained five recommendation letters that strongly advocated for the approval of his case. These letters were contributed by other experts working in the field of sociology, one of whom described our client’s work as:

“By fully investigating how strong and weak state policies correlate with different types of religious isomorphism in post-Soviet Central Asian countries, [client] has presented new knowledge about the widespread sociological factors influencing religious and secular educational activities throughout a large portion of the world.”

The final step in the green card process:

The USCIS spent 10 months and 14 days adjudicating our client’s EB-2 NIW petition before granting the approval. We congratulate our client on this milestone and wish him the best as he continues to advance the field of sociology with his dedicated work.

“Thank you for your great work on my I-140 case. It was an honor for me as well to work with your firm.”

Case Summary:

Nearly 10 months and 10 days after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for an Iranian researcher, the USCIS granted his approval. After evaluating his credentials and extensive experience specializing in educational psychology, we were confident that our client met the National Interest Waiver requirements set by Matter of DHANASAR.

As we have successfully petitioned over 16,000 I-140 cases, we applied our experience to our client’s case and highlighted his work on the biological mechanisms of cognition and learning. Relevant evidence was submitted to demonstrate that our client’s research has immense social and economic benefits. Besides, his many years of experience in the field of educational psychology has led to 4 publications, the 42 times his works were cited by other researchers, and the 4 times our client judged the work of his peers－these impressive records were also included in the petition package.

To further strengthen our client’s NIW petition, we included strong letters of support from other prominent researchers in the field. This is what one of the fellow experts in the field noted in his letter of support: “Therefore, it is crucial that educators encourage an active and proactive participation in the learning process, as well as instill critical thinking skills in their students. [Client’s] research identifies and addresses the challenges in current educational practice in order to produce a generation of students who are well-prepared and possess in-depth and discerning learning capabilities.”

With our unique methods to customize our client’s petition, we were able to include necessary documentary evidence and expert testimonies and successfully argue that our client would greatly benefit the development of his field, as well as the United States at large. We congratulate him with the I-140 approval, and thank him for choosing us for his I-485 application.

“Thank you very much for all your help!”

Case Summary:

Based in North Carolina, our client holds a doctoral degree in Quantitative Psychology, has extensive experience in the field of psychometrics, and is undoubtedly an outstanding researcher. His consistent contributions to the field made him a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), and after determining that we could help him build a solid case, we gathered an array of evidence to support the petition. While collecting relevant documentation, our team collaborated with our client closely with efficient and targeted communication which specifically addressed our client’s concerns towards the NIW preparation process. With our help, his petition was approved in 9 months and 23 days.

Our client is an expert in the field of psychometrics, as he proposes to continue his research on the development and evaluation of measurement equivalence testing methods, with an emphasis on the detection of differentially functioning items in a multiple-group or longitudinal context. In the petition letter, customized by our dedicated team, we addressed the 85 times his 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and a cited master’s thesis were cited, his experience of judging the work of his peers as well as the importance of our client’s research. His research in this area is of great importance because it involves ensuring the validity and accuracy of patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PROs are utilized by health care providers to collect accurate data regarding patients’ health status, and therefore make informed decisions about the appropriate treatment plan for each patient. By focusing on the development, evaluation, and advancement of accessible patient-reported outcomes surveys, our client has contributed to the formation of cancer policies around the world.

As with all our clients, we advised him on the process of selecting suitable recommenders and obtaining their testimonials. These testimonials supported the approval of our client’s NIW petition and contained strong statements such as: “Impressively, this work represents only a small part of [client’s] contributions, as he has consistently produced valuable insights and methodologies for advancements in patient-reported outcomes research related to various harmful conditions while simultaneously advancing the field of psychometrics. In the process, [client’s] collective work has been a significant driver in efforts to improve health outcomes research around the world.”

We are pleased that our efforts paved the way for our client’s NIW petition approval. We congratulate him for completing this significant first step in the green card process, and we thank him for trusting us.

“Thanks a lot for your time and effort.”

Case Summary:

An assistant professor from Turkey hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client is an expert in the field of psychology who has worked tirelessly on human behavior and attitudes in organizations. To convince the USCIS of the national importance of his work, we adopted the line of argument that his research significantly enhances the efficiency and performance of employees. Therefore, his expertise in this area is of inherent benefit to a plethora of organizations across the nation and around the world. We worked diligently to prove that our client’s findings are directly linked to job performance and how it naturally benefits the United States workforce and economy.

Among other things, we listed the 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 1 Letter to the Editor (first-authored) published by our client. We also listed the 31 times his work was cited by other researchers in the field. It is unquestionable that our client is highly regarded in his field. We also included the 7 times he judged the work of his peers.

Our client’s NIW petition was further strengthened by 6 recommendation letters that were signed by other notable researchers and experts in the field. One of these recommenders recognized our client as “It is no overstatement to say that [client] has unique and uncommonly strong insight into how the employment hierarchy and responsibility chain of a government agency should be formed to reach maximum performance. As a result, he is clearly a national asset within the field.”

Although our client had a strong case, the USCIS issued an RFE to which we responded promptly and successfully dealt with the hurdles. We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of his NIW case and for giving us an opportunity to file the I-485 applications for him and his family. We wish him the best as he continues to work in the United States.

“It’s been a wonderful experience working with this firm. They were very professional and provided excellent guidance. Before I worked with the firm, I thought EB1B was only awarded to those in the natural science, especially in health sciences/engineering. The firm helped identify the strengths of my research and did an excellent job in putting my entire petition together.”
