North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Researcher from Spain in the field of Plant Biology. His work has focused specifically on taxonomy and evolution. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Plant Biology, including 38 peer-reviewed journal articles, 10 book chapters, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 78 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 recognized and relied upon in the field. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client]’s work is also fed by his understanding of the importance of discovery and cataloguing of taxonomic diversity. He himself has described a number of new species and genera, achievements which mark him as particularly productive in this area in comparison to many other researchers. Because such discoveries contribute significantly to many industries, such as medicine and particularly pharmaceutical development, which benefits greatly from the discovery of new sources of potential therapeutic components. [Client] has repeatedly shown himself to be conscious of this need around the world and his work shows his dedication to the efficient and comprehensive recording of plant species, addressing gaps that have been left by other researchers.” 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 3 months and 25 days.
