Case Summary:

In this case, North America Immigration Law Group was given the opportunity to work with a chemical engineer from Iran. We showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field in particular and the populace of the United States as a whole. His work had been published in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 patent, as well as being presented at numerous conferences. At the time we filed his case, these publications had received no fewer than 39 citations from independent researchers around the world, a strong testament to the wide reliance upon this research in the field as well as the broad recognition it has received. 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 10 months and 23 days (including RFE Response Time).
