The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Pakistan. His work had focused specifically on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. 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 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 102 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,“Through [client’s] earth system model analyses, the larger community of environmental scientists will more insightfully compare the carbon stores of various biomes.” 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 7 months and 4 days.
