Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from Iran working in the field of chemical engineering.  He had made substantial contributions to science and technology through his premier grade chemical engineering expertise utilizing mathematical models and optimization techniques, especially where it concerns energy storage devices. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, including at least 10 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals and 18 conference presentations. His publications had been cited at least 75 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client] is exceptional at conducting mathematical modeling, a necessary concept used to predict phenomena that are quite challenging to observe in an experimental setting, and thereby identifying factors important to battery performance.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in just over 1 month.
