The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Associate Professor in Iran. His work had focused specifically on the electrochemical biosensors for the detection of biologically important compounds and cancer cells. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 25 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 426 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 widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “These achievements by [client] represent novel additions to SECM methodology and enable highly sensitive comparative DNA analysis. [Client’s] research provides an affordable and efficient methodology for the detection of DNA mutations where once a costly and complex procedure was the only option.” 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 7 months and 3 days.
