Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Researcher from Turkey.  His work had focused specifically on the development of groundbreaking new methods for detecting, structurally analyzing, cataloguing, and quantifying metabolites – tiny molecules that serve a number of critical biological functions.

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 6 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 35 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 inherit merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “before any meaningful research can be done on the roles of specific metabolites in biological systems, the structure of the metabolites must first be ascertained. This is what makes [Client’s] new topology extraction tool so essential to the rest of his field. It is especially important given the fact that the structures of only a fraction—perhaps as little as 1%—of the metabolites that scientists believe to exist have been recorded at present.”  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 17 days.
