The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Turkey. He has been dedicated to advancements in the field of molecular and cellular biology and research related to improving the cultivation of hazelnut trees through more accessible genetic resources. 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 10 peer-reviewed publications and articles from leading international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 177 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, “Overall, [client’s] results have exceptionally broad implications for understanding the molecular basis of not only chemotherapy drug/transporter interactions but also the recognition of other physiological substrates, environmental toxins, and functional evolution of these membrane transporters.” 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.
