Our client’s work centers on making medical images more useful for clinical decisions—from identifying complex lung disease to assessing whether a patient needs a prostate biopsy. After completing his medical education and radiology residency at Hacettepe University, he pursued fellowship training in cardiothoracic imaging at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he subsequently served as an assistant professor. His research combines clinical experience with advanced MRI, CT, and emerging AI-assisted imaging methods.
Our firm built the petition around the connection between this research record and his proposed contributions to diagnostic care in the United States. We presented evidence of his academic appointments, specialized training, and 20 peer-reviewed publications, which had attracted more than 340 citations at the time of filing. His research on prostate MRI and the imaging characteristics of interstitial lung disease provided concrete examples of his expertise. The petition explained how his proposed work could improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce unnecessary procedures, and support more individualized treatment decisions.
USCIS approved his I-140 petition under the EB-2 National Interest Waiver category. A central theme of this case was the practical application of imaging research: helping clinicians interpret findings with greater confidence and select appropriate next steps for their patients. His plans to refine imaging protocols and incorporate AI into clinical workflows build directly on that focus, with the goal of making diagnostic advances useful in everyday care.
