Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China.  His work had focused specifically on plant genetics, understanding the genetic and molecular causes for plant characteristics. 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 11 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 124 times by researchers around the world, nearly all of which were by independent researchers, including international researchers from Australia, China, and Germany.  The influence of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Many findings from plants can be directly translated to other organisms. [His] research highlights the importance of H1 in critical DNA-related processes, matters of high relevance to additional research. […] [His] ongoing research benefits scientists in his field and beyond. This is particularly true because of the fundamental nature of many of his studies, a quality that renders them essential to plant scientists but also to scientists in adjacent fields, like medicine.”  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 29 days.
