Physician in Medically Underserved Area, EB2/NIW
We have recently won a case for a physician working in several rural clinics as well as his private practice within a medically underserved area. We were retained following a denial of the I-140 petition for NIW. We filed an appeal as well as an amended (new) I-140 application to show that the physician had met the 5-year service requirements for an NIW. The applicant had moved from one medically underserved area to another while the original I-140 was pending. The issue was whether an “amendment” could have been filed in this case to notify USCIS of the move without an approved I-140.
I was very pleased with answers I received from Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna to my questions on my immigration case. He pointed out one detail about my case that I forgot about, and that helped me to make a more educated decision as to how to proceed with my case. Thanks a lot, Rajiv!
