The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Associate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on the continuum and discrete modeling of the mechanical response of materials relevant to mineral processing, construction, and more. 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 3 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 32 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. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “If the United States should not recognize the benefits of supporting such a unique and top-of-the-line researcher in the country, it will miss out on a great opportunity for advancing many different aspects of society.” 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 10 months and 5 days.
