In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from France. His work had focused specifically on performing experiments and developing new formulas, methods, and products. 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 11 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 patent, 1 dissertation, and 2 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 175 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 significance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “[His] work has led to the creation of new families of drugs and novel methodologies that are currently making inroads on new green chemistry concepts and more powerful anti -cancer drugs.” 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 2 days.
