The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Visiting Scholar from Iran. His work has focused specifically on perfecting the numerical methods applied for solving time-dependent moving boundary problems, as well as other issues in computational mechanics. 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, 3 book chapters, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 151 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’s] research provides a highly insightful survey of various aspects of SCC, and has helped reshape the construction industry. Firstly, [client] focused his study on the process of producing an SCC with a lessened environmental footprint.” 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 4 months and 17 days.
