The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from India. His work had focused specifically the synthesis of molecules for treating cancer and other medical conditions. 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 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 15 presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 28 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’s] research focused on development of molecules for use in cancer treatments and for treating parasitic infections, specifically infections by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, an infection that is particularly dangerous for populations with weaker immune systems, like cancer or organ transplant patients, those suffering from autoimmune diseases, and pregnantwomen.” 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 5 months and 30 days.
