The client that WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a microbiologist from Japan. His work had focused specifically on a global pathogen that parasitizes human immune cells to disseminate in the human body, causing life-threatening disease in immunocompromised individuals. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his 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 his highly significant contributions to his field, including 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 106 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “Both nationally and internationally, [Client’s] research is not merely applicable; it is essential. As a researcher of [disease] myself, I am acutely aware of the ravaging effects of parasitic infectious diseases. Infection from [pathogen] and ensuing complications leads to one of the highest virus mortality rates worldwide.” 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. His NIW petition was approved in 5 months and 1 day.
