The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Iran. His work has focused specifically on developing new, effective, and environmentally safe synthesis methods for chemical catalysts and reagents. 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 28 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 patent, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 354 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] experiments here, in both the mentioned sets of projects, managed to sustain very positive rates of production, all with the benefit of significantly shortened reaction time and higher yields. Knowing this, the inherent worth of his work becomes apparent. Methods for compound synthesis without the use of harmful solvents are critical to developing important chemical compounds, which [client] work here achieves with high potency.” 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 29 days.
