Case Summary:
We at North America Immigration Law Group, take utmost care in conducting a thorough background check of every client who approaches us for helping them with their immigration petition to USCIS. So, when an associate professor in the field of food safety approached us, we made certain that he received the best legal aid for his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. We presented his exceptional professional background and unparalleled experience important to his current and future work at the USCIS.
After reviewing his credentials, we found that our client has accommodated an impressive record of success. He received Ph.D. in food safety veterinary epidemiology, and his research has resulted in 36 peer-reviewed journal articles (12 of them first-authored), 1 book chapter, and 1 book. Furthermore, his publications have been cited a total of 506 times according to Google Scholar, thereby signifying that these publications are widely acknowledged and counted upon in the field of his expertise.
Additionally, our client’s research related to food and water-borne health risks associated with contaminants, microbial residues, and zoonoses has great substantial merit and national importance. His research is relevant to agriculture, disease prevention, and food safety as a whole, and has even worked on projects related to water quality, which is important because of the importance of drinking water and the deaths that occur due to poor water quality and contamination. His proposed endeavor thus is to devise novel bioinformatics and chemical risk assessment techniques to identify and develop solutions to address such major health issues around the world.
Apart from his achievements, out of the four recommendation letters that he obtained from his fellow experts in the field, one of the recommenders had the following to say about his work:
“[Client’s] work in food safety is considered beneficial to the United States. The CDC states that about 3000 Americans die from diseases caused by food poisoning every year, with tens of thousands more being hospitalized as a result of such illnesses. [Client’s] development of strategies to screen for both dangerous bacteria and chemical residue in food products, as well as his ability to identify the causes behind such phenomena, make him a valuable asset for reducing these threats to the health of the American population.”
The evidence in the aggregate thus demonstrates that our client’s work and his ongoing efforts are key to preventing epidemics, making his work of clear benefit. His commitment to inspecting food and water for dangerous bacterial strains and closely analyzing these samples confirms that the United States has a vested interest in maintaining our client’s services in his field of food safety.
We are certain that he is more than capable of furthering his knowledge base in the chosen field and continuing his work in the United States of America. Since this client lives outside of the United States, he will now begin Immigrant Visa Processing as the final step toward his green card. We thus wish him the very best in his life and success in all the endeavors that he takes up soon.
