Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Process Research Engineer from Iran.  His work had focused specifically on the development of sustainable and clean energy production processes using novel multiphase computational fluid dynamics techniques. 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 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 17 conference papers. At the time we filed his case, his publications had been cited at least 22 times; nearly all the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field.  The value of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[His] research is critically important for the development of environmentally friendly and safe coal gasification processes. As the prices and environmental impact of burning coal continue to rise drastically, it will become necessary to re-evaluate many of our current energy sources and production processes. With this in mind, [he] has developed highly advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations and a magnesium oxide-based CO2 capturing process that is pertinent to current coal power plant design.”  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 3 days.
