North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an Air Quality Consultantin Illinois in the field of Environmental Engineering. Her work has focused specifically on innovative applications of climate models aimed at evaluating the harmful effects of aviation emissions on the environment and climate. Specifically, she has worked to evaluate the environmental impact of aerospace vehicles, which produce emissions that negatively affect the atmosphere and, subsequently, the nature of our climate. This type of evaluation under different aviation emission scenarios guides decisions concerning future aircraft design and operations that can help to minimize the environmental and climate impacts of aviation emissions.In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Environmental Engineering, including 1 first-authored peer-reviewed journal article and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 16 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field.As stated by one independent recommender, “Air quality is one of the biggest problems facing the governments and citizens of industrialized countries like the U.S……[Client], an extremely talented environmental engineer who has produced some very illuminating research on how aviation-based emissions affect air quality and the Earth's overall climate, research that will help the scientific community prevent the worst possible effects from taking place.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 9 months and 2 days.
