The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Germany. Her work had focused specifically on the development of a deeper understanding of biomedical techniques for the treatment of neurological cancers like glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like Huntington’s disease. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field 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 6 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 65 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Her project to implant human stem cells into the brain of Huntington Disease was highly courageous attempt that deserves a great respect and acknowledgement.” 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 5 months.
