Case Summary:
“In totality, [Client’s] work has not only increased the accuracy and efficiency by emergency responders, but it also has improved the operations of emergency medical technicians through the acquisition and transference of information between stages of patient care in emergency response situations.”
This quote is excerpted from a recommendation letter offered by a leading professor in the field of medical informatics. This letter, and several others that our client gathered from other experts in the field, was included in the carefully worded EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet that North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was hired to put together and submit to the USCIS.
With an M.B.B.S., an M.Sc. in Health Informatics, and 3 publications that had collected 47 citations, our client qualified for the national interest waiver. To further fortify our EB-2 NIW petition, we elaborated on our client’s various research projects, particularly those that focused on advancing the clinical applications of information technologies, collaborative and patient-focused healthcare, and robust health management infrastructures and communication systems. We used the information that we gathered to prove to the USCIS that the United States economy, healthcare industry, emergency medical and out-of-hospital services, interdisciplinary care structures, and public health greatly benefit from our client’s studies. We also established that not many other researchers working in the field of medical informatics can attain the same level of success that our client has thus far.
The USCIS spent roughly four and a half months reviewing this NIW case before they granted their approval. We congratulate our client (an associate scientist from India) for overcoming the first hurdle in the green card process.
