In this case, North America Immigration Law Group was given the opportunity to work with a chemist from France whose research was particularly focused on developing organic electronics for solar cells and transistors. 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 15 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as being presented at numerous conferences. At the time we filed his case, these publications had received no fewer than 537 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. An independent recommender emphasized the importance of our client’s work: “[Client’s] work is important in keeping up with global energy economy, especially as nonrenewable fossil fuels deplete rapidly. This has important economic and global - policy implications, as it reduces the United States' dependence on foreign oil and promotes cleaner renewable energy. [Client] is pioneering new techniques and methods for the future of green chemistry and renewable energy technology, and his publications related to these projects have earned him international recognition.” 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 4 months and 10 days.
