Case Summary: Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a post-doctoral researcher from South Korea working in the field of pathobiology. His work had focused specifically on the development and provision of norovirus virus-like particles (VLPs) for the study of norovirus infection, on the creation of efficacy test systems for surface disinfectants, on the genetic characteristics of the Bacillus subtilis bacterium, and on the development of new vaccines and vaccine platforms. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of pathobiology, including at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles that had been cited by peer researchers around the world, as well as numerous conference papers and presentations. His publications had been cited at least 50 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Though [client’s] research regarding the norovirus is impressive in itself and has proven its ability to innovate for the betterment of pathogenic biology, his research has implications for further study of other harmful microbes. Diseases like influenza, Hepatitis B and the Human Papilloma Virus all have related vaccines that can be improved through a more intimate knowledge of the bacteria that cause them, and [client’s] norovirus VLPs foretell application to a broader range of pathogens that will aid in our understanding of treatment and vaccination for disease prevention.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in 3 ½ months.
