In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work was a PhD Student from Iran. His work had been dedicated to advancements in the field of Structural Engineering and the development of new systems for structure evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, aircrafts, pipelines, and bridges. 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 8 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, 2 books, and 2 filed patents (1 already approved), as well as numerous conference and poster presentations. His publications had been cited at least 42 times at the time we filed the case;the citations included a substantial amount of independent citations from international researchers conducting research in institutions around the world, indicating the global significance of his research work. The prospects for his future research were confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] has already made substantial strides in the advancement of the fields of earthquake engineering, experimental mechanics, and especially nondestructive evaluation worldwide, and based on these nonstop accomplishments I assure you he will continue to remain at the forefront of his field while making additional contributions of paramount importance.” 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 5 months and 14 days.
