Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral research fellow from South Korea working in the field of bioengineering.  His work had largely focused on optoelectronic nano- and microfluidic technologies, which are useful for studying the development of small animals and for understanding certain cellular behaviors. 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 bioengineering, including at least 32 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 48 conference abstracts, 2 book chapters, and 23 patents issued and pending in the area of optoelectrofluidics, cell-based microsystems, and microelectronic devices. His publications had been cited at least 396 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] work involved the creation of an automated system that functioned by differentiating healthy and unhealthy oocytes by means of their different movements in response to scanning image patterns. This is a significant finding that will lead to innovations in IVF techniques the world over.” 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 just 7 weeks.
