Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Postdoctoral Associate in New York in the Field of Environmental Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
I would highly recommend WeGreened team [North America Immigration Law Group] to anyone in need of attorney for the employment-based green card application. WeGreened team is organized, confident, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of employment-based immigration. Recently, I applied EB2-NIW with the help of WeGreened team and my I-140 was approved last week. I was extremely impressed by their very professional approach, and a quick response to questions and concerns. The application process was so smooth that I was able to file my application in a short period of time. The team was superbly efficient and professional.

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Associate from Nepal. His work had focused specifically on hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling of wetlands. 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 at least 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 peer-reviewed research reports and 17 presentations and abstracts at national and international conferences. These publications had been cited at least 33 times at the time of case filing by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. The impact of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The models developed by [him] will continue to be useful to researchers in our field because there is still much work to be done in the study of how climate change will affect the United States. There are many areas of concern and all need to be carefully considered. [He] is a prime example of a scientist who truly understands this fact and who frames his work in a way that assures that it will not only be useful for his own purposes but for researchers in many fields. [His] work is of course very useful for those like myself directly studying hydrology and water quality, but it is also applicable and important information for those whose work concerns building in proximity to areas like the ones [he] has studied, and such wetland environments are found widely across the country. In addition to affecting those wishing to build in these areas, [his] research also has a strong relevance for biologist studying the plant and animal life in these areas, as these are tied very closely to the water quality of an environment.” 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 17 days.
