The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Associate from Taiwan. His work has focused on the application and improvement of gold catalysts for industrially significant reactions such as partial oxidation and H2 generation, and transition metal carbide catalysts for biofuel production. 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 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 166 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, “[Client] is a chemical engineering researcher working on the fundamental problems impeding the development of more efficient and environmentally safe reactions and higher quality fuel cells. In paying attention to these aspects of the use of new environmentally friendly technologies, [client] has played a critical role in making these better technologies the standard for a more forward-thinking society.” 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 20 days.
