The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on water resources infrastructure and the development of sophisticated computer models for securing drinking water distribution facilities and guiding reactions in the event of a contamination crisis. 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 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 12 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 39 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, “[Client] developed consequence management models that can be used by water utility managers to protect people against contamination threats. [Client] was able to develop a new model for a response mechanism which warns consumers of potential risk through the injection of food-grade dye into the water system.” 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 8 months and 28 days.
