Case Summary:
The distinguished client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity of working with in this case was a Research Scientist from the Philippines working in the field of surface chemistry, which is a highly specialized area of work impacting many diverse disciplines including material science and chemistry. Particularly, his specialized research had focused on diverse, revolutionary and cutting edge investigations aimed at utilizing experimental techniques to address fundamental questions in surface chemistry. 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 at least 5 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals; these publications had been cited at least 17 times at the time of case filing. The importance of our client’s work and the pertinent vitality of his contributions to the national interest is confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] has clearly shown that he is an investigator of great proficiency in his field of Material Science. His important work has global implications of incalculable value, especially for the development of TiC material for aerospace applications. He has chosen one of the most difficult fields as his area of study and he has already excelled in the 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 just over 4 months.
