Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a research fellow from Iran working in the field of electrochemistry. His work had focused specifically on developing and characterizing rechargeable batteries. We 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 electrochemistry, including at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 38 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client] has focused a large portion of his research toward gaining a better understanding of the factors that control the performance of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. This is an area that is in critical demand of qualified researchers with the aptitude and expansive background [client] now possesses.” Through extensive documentation, we 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 1 and ½ months.
