Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a research scientist in the field of chemistry. This client had focused on the development of catalysis and synthesis methods, as well as creating carbon-dioxide capture and sequestration methods. In addition, he had contributed towards the improvement of alternative fuels and had discovered environmentally-sound ways of extracting cleaner fluids from renewable biomass resources. These aforementioned works had resulted in 10 co-authored and 18 first-authored journal articles and conference papers. These publications had been cited 99 times at the time of processing this client’s case. As one independent recommender had stated: “While [Client’s] work is already important, his potential for continued research is just as critical. Until we develop biofuels and chemicals that can meet our present and future energy demands, green energy researchers will always have work to do. While improvements to catalysts and the biomass conversion process are an important first step in developing efficient biofuels and chemicals, those catalysts will need to be put to use and the process perfected if we hope to synthesize usable products. And once those products are developed, they will need to be tested for usability and for their impact on the environment. Research such as that of [Client’s] will only grow more important.” EB-2 NIW petition received approval in 4 months, 11 days.
