Case Summary:
An expert in quantitative methods working as a postdoctoral fellow approached NAILG for her NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Her proposed endeavor was to work on the development of novel approaches to solve complexities in the multilevel analysis of single-case experimental and group comparison designs for both simulated and real data. This meant that her work was significantly important because meta-analyses are often the primary sources of reliable evidence that facilitate clinical practices. At the same time, her proposed endeavor also had broad implications for the United States. The importance of statistics to the nation cannot be understated. One example of the utility of statistics comes from the United States Census, which collects population information every decade. The U.S. Census is used by policymakers to determine the amount of public service funding a particular community receives.
Hence, due to the clear national importance of her research, it has been supported with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. At the same time, she has completed at least 4 reviews to date and her research has resulted in 23 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored) which were used as evidence of her continued literary output by our team. Not only this but her research has also been cited a total of 413 times according to Google Scholar.
Hence, she has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor for 5 years granting her great expertise in the area. These evidence and the 2 letters of recommendation helped her win the NIW approval of the adjudicating bench in just 2 months and 24 days. We are thus glad to have been of help to her in this process.
