Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a research assistant from Iran. His work had focused specifically in the areas of material, and mechanical engineering, working to develop several polymer blends and nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties to benefit polymer and composite industries. 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 journal articles, 1 patent, 2 book chapters and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited a total of 42 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] work is important not only because of its value to the scientific community, but due to its practical application as well. Waterproof materials are important for a variety of applications, such as electrical equipment and rust sealants. The development and improvement of superhydrophobic surfaces depends on [client’s] work, and myriad industries benefit from such research.” 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 7 months and 12 days.
