Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Project Scientist from Iran.  Her work had focused specifically on developing nano-constructs for nanomedicine and optical diagnostics. 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 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 7 conference papers, and 8 conference abstracts. Her publications had been cited at least 67 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, “Current imaging methods are not always able to see tumor deposits in the body under 1 centimeter.  [Client’s] agent can, providing extremely effective treatment for ovarian cancer patients.  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 4 months and 16 days.
