A client from India with a Ph.D. in psychology approached us to help her file the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition; we, therefore, employed our team of experts to build a convincing case for her. We included details from her professional and academic career in her petition packet to support her claim to the NIW category.

We showcased that along with her academic qualifications:

- Her research on employing quantitative and qualitative research methods in organizational psychology has substantial merit and national importance. Among other applications, it is relevant to enhancing company culture, employee well-being, and productivity.
- Her research advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it helps create supportive work environments, which is beneficial for health and productivity.
- Her use of quantitative and qualitative research methods in organizational psychology offers a practical avenue to improve employee performance and well-being while enhancing company productivity and efficiency.

On the other hand, we highlighted that her academic performance has been responsible for several publications, and citations:

- - Her research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 first-authored) and 1 first-authored abstract.
  - Her publications have been cited 122 times according to Google Scholar.
  - She has completed at least 7 reviews to date.
  - 2 experts in the field confirm the client’s record of successful research and have well-positioned her to continue advancing the proposed endeavor.

Specifically, with the U.S. government’s demonstrated commitment to advancing mental health resources and fostering supportive workplaces that prioritize mental health, our client’s efforts to employ organizational psychology to create supportive work environments benefit U.S. citizens and help meet strategic goals.

We are thus very proud that our client got her NIW approval in just two months and seven days. It has been an amazing journey with her. We wish her the very best in her future endeavors.
