In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Research Associate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on transportation systems andhe had developed computer algorithms and mathematical models for the optimization and modernization of transportation systems. 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 scientific articles, 1 technical report and 3 publications at national and international conferences. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 25 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “His accomplishments are essential contributions to the development of advanced transportation systems, which will be especially needed over the next decade as the U.S. updates its infrastructure…. These advances are especially essential to the U.S. as its expanding population is getting increasingly centered in urban cities.” 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 just 2 months and 9 days.
