Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Visiting Scientist from Sudan. His work has focused specifically on the treatment of HIV and malaria, two very serious conditions effecting millions people all over the globe. 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, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 71 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] participated in the development of a new killing rate assay based on modifications to the conventional assay method. The method has been validated using standard antimalarial drugs, and provides a valuable tool to enhance drug discovery research. This method is a major accomplishment and will increase the efficiency of discovering new drugs to treat malaria.” 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 5 days.
