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 Kenya. His work had focused specifically on the achieving an in-depth understanding of the mechanism underlying glycosylation reactions and reporting new methods for controlling stereoselectivity during a glycosylation reaction. 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 3 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 29 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 has been of great benefit to his field, and those related to it, which in turn provide many life-saving tools and treatments for the country. Without research like [Client]’s, the field of organic synthesis and biochemistry would suffer, as he has contributed greatly to knowledge necessary at a basic level for advancing all research endeavors” 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 8 months and 23 days.
