At North America Immigration Law Group- WeGreened.com, we recently received an NIW approval fora Facility Manager from France in the field of Plant Biology. Her work has focused specifically on plant physiology with a special interest in using proteomics tools to decipher the adaptation methods of certain plants as they react to stressors. Specifically, she has contributed key insights into how redox-regulated proteins are involved not just in how a plant develops, but also in how plants respond, react, and adjust to environmental stressors. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in Plant Biology would benefit those in her field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to her field, including 35 peer-reviewed journal articles, one book chapter, and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 867 times at the time we filed the case by leading and independent researchers around the world, many of whom are from prestigious national and international institutions. The influence of her work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “[Client]’s work has helped further our understanding of the root proteome and of the mechanics of how plants sense and respond to stress, and these advances are already being used in efforts to increase crop yields in the United States. Increasing crop yields has many benefits, including land conservation and even reducing US dependence on foreign oil … Because the US is considered a global leader in agriculture and is also interested in resource conservation and sustainability, it makes sense to want researchers and scientists, like [client], who are at the forefront of their field, to share their expertise in ways that help the country reach its goals and to be, in general, stronger, healthier, and more dynamic.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in 3 months and 25 days.
