Success Story: Thanks to Our Assistance, An Iranian Researcher Wins NIW & EB1A - EB1A Approved in Just 15 Days!

“Thank you so much for all your work and support.”

Case Summary:   

We are excited to share the successful I-140 approvals under both the National Interest Waiver (NIW) and EB1A categories for a distinguished clinical nutrition expert. The NIW petition was approved in March 2024, followed by an EB1A approval in March 2025 under premium processing. These outcomes recognize the petitioner’s extraordinary contributions to nutrition science, obesity management, and biochemistry-based therapeutic research.

Advancing Global Health Through Natural Therapies and Nutritional Biochemistry

With an M.S. in food and nutrition services, the petitioner is recognized for pioneering work in clinical nutrition, particularly regarding plant-based therapeutic interventions for diabetes, sepsis, and related metabolic conditions. He is especially well-known for his research on the health benefits of saffron, nano-curcumin, and Achillea millefolium. His work bridges the gap between nutritional biochemistry and evidence-based medicine, providing novel insights into dietary interventions for chronic diseases.

Currently conducting research in the United States, the petitioner’s ongoing work includes data-driven analyses of obesity-related health outcomes and food prescription programs.

Widespread Recognition and Scientific Impact

The petition presented a robust evidentiary record, including:

• ● 16 peer-reviewed journal articles, 4 abstracts (3 first-authored), published in respected venues;

• ● 165 citations, with 4 publications ranked among the top 1–10% most cited in agricultural sciences for their publication years;

• ● An h-index placing him among the top 1% of nutrition researchers;

• ● At least 50 completed peer reviews for highly ranked journals.

His research has been cited by scientists across more than 25 countries, with applications spanning anti-inflammatory therapeutics, metabolic disease prevention, and natural medicine.

Expert Testimonies Support Extraordinary Ability

The petition included four recommendation letters, these letters confirmed the major significance of the petitioner’s work and its global applicability.

“For the United States, his research improves integrative medicine by providing evidence-based data on natural interventions in critical care, ultimately offering a cost-effective solution to reduce the healthcare burden associated with sepsis treatment.”

A Record of Excellence and Continued Impact

Through consistent peer-reviewed publication, high citation impact, and service to the scientific community, the petitioner has demonstrated the national importance and extraordinary merit of his work. We are honored to have supported his successful immigration journey and look forward to his continued contributions to U.S. healthcare and nutrition science.
