The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Research Associate from China. Her work had focused specifically on determining the causes of excess glutamate in HIV patients, particularly those suffering from HIV-associated neurodegenerative diseases (HANDs), uncovering and clarifying microcellular processes that occur in the brain, and developing a technique to enhance the effectiveness of the cell transplantation process. 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 10 peer-reviewed journal publications. Her publications had been cited at least 183 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, “[Client’s] work alone has shown that the HIV-induced glutamate generation can be inhibited. This creates a new and unique therapeutic target for treatment that will, undoubtedly, have incredible, positive [effects] for those who receive it.” 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 23 days.
