The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from India. His work had focused specifically on the production of bio-oil alternatives to fossil fuels, as well as innovative methods of using the byproducts of bio-oil production to create further means of sustainable energy and climate change mitigation. 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 and numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 11 times at the time of case filing, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of environmental soil chemistry, taking into consideration the low citation climate in his field. His outstanding ability was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] is unique in his expertise and experiences. He has worked extensively with the highest levels of technology in all major applications of Geographic Information Systems, from ArcGIS to ArcView and ArcMap for the modeling of complex climate and spatial relationships. He also has great experience a range of laboratory techniques and instruments such as NMR and FTIR, and is a certified advanced statistical programmer for SAS. There are few scientists working today with this comprehensive experience that is essential for work in this field.” 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 5 months and 25 days.
