The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work in this case was a postdoctoral research scholar from Iran. Her work had focused specifically on developing rigorous physics-based numerical models and advanced computational tools for the numerical modeling and simulation of geomechanics problems. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference presentations. Her publications had been cited at least 50 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “The work that [client] has done on numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing, and her ongoing work, is essential to current energy extraction efforts and for enhanced oil and gas recovery from subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs. This research area should be considered a priority for American scientists especially those working on petroleum extraction.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 21 days.
