The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a senior riser engineer from China. His work had focused specifically on fatigue of concrete materials, pavement material monitoring and management, application of energy harvest technology, numerical mechanics, and pavement management and GIS data mining. 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 14 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 41 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] successfully produced a damage model which is being implemented in further fatigue research aimed at increasing the efficiency of the transportation industry. [...] Overall, the study is providing new technology for better constructed pavements; an innovation which will increase the productivity, safety, and economic stability of the transportation sector.” 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 9 months and 26 days.
