Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a research associate in the field of Plant Biology. This client’s specialized research had focused on amino acid metabolism in plants; this research had allowed him to discover novel functions and characterize the biosynthetic routes of several amino acids, such as m-tyrosine, S-methylmethionine, and phenylalanine. His research had resulted in 5 peer-reviewed publications which had been cited 105 times at the time his case was filed. Additionally, the client had reviewed 19 articles that were published in 15 internationally recognized journals and had also served as a reviewer for a book. An expert in the field of Plant Biology stated: “[Client’s] findings have great applications for the development of novel herbicides that reduce the competition between useful plants and useless weeds. Given the scarcity of water and nutrients in the soil, herbicides are important for the agriculture industry, which obviously hopes to provide the best nutrition possible to crops. [Client’s] studies on allelopathic chemicals have advanced scientists’ understanding of the structures and identities of non-protein amino acids like m-tyrosine, which play an essential role in supporting crops by reducing the competition for scarce resources. Thanks to [Client’s] research, scientists can now bridge the gap between traditional plant physiology and modern plant genomics research. Safer, more efficacious and costefficient allelopathic techniques are sure to arise from [Client’s] observations…these techniques will lead to better agricultural practices and more effective herbicides.” This EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition received approval in only 1 month, 20 days.
