The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Taiwan. She had focused her doctoral and post-doctoral research in the area of bacterial gene regulation and signal transduction– topics of study that have great implications for public health and cancer 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 five peer-reviewed journal articles. In addition, she had been selected to contribute to variousinternational conferences which had resulted five oral presentations and six poster presentations. At the time her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 50 times; 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, “These findings tell us a great deal about the mechanisms of surface differentiation and flagellar function, which in turn give researchers insight into important steps in pathogenesis and surface contact in the process of bacterial colonization. The extended impacts of [her] studies are nearly unquantifiable, considering the vast role of bacteria in disease and other biological processes.” 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 and 17 days.
