Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a fellow in critical care medicine from India working in the field of internal medicine. His work had focused primarily on exploring the causes of acute kidney injury, treatment for chronic kidney disease, and complications related to the management of kidney failure, including peritonitis and side effects such as pruritus, and using these findings to help clinicians opt for the best treatments for their patients. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of internal medicine, including at least 2 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 1 book chapter, 1 published abstract, and 17 conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 7 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “As demonstrated by his frequent presence as a presenter at professional conferences, [client’s] work has generated significant interest in his field. His close attention to improving the lives of patients with dialysis, rather than just treating life-threatening symptoms, makes him one of a rare few nephrologists with an eye set towards palliative care. Additionally, his work emphasizes the need to continue to challenge previously-established beliefs in medicine in order to ensure that the best course of treatment is selected for every individual patient.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved just 6 weeks.
