North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Researcher from Taiwan in the field of Chemical Engineering. His work has focused on characterizing cell to cell adhesion, which has enormous benefits for healing wounds and assisting in recovery from tumor extraction. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Chemical Engineering, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 455 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “As an investigator in the field, it has been impossible not to take notice of the astounding number of major contributions [client] has made to the field over the short span of his career. [Client]’s work in the evaluation of the way cancer cells spread through the metastatic process and investigation of how that process may be stopped is extremely valuable to the global public health interest.” 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 9 months.
