North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a PhD Candidate and Manager of Product Development in the field of Civil Engineering. His work has focused specifically on pavement materials engineering. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Civil Engineering, including 5 peer-reviewed journal and several conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 22 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. He has also been invited to perform peer-review work for several scholarly journals. As stated by one independent recommender, “As a top transportation engineer, [client] is truly making transformative changes for our economy and sustainability. […] Simply put, [client] is among the best of the best when it comes to pavement engineering, and his research has laid the groundwork for a more solid infrastructure with concern to costs and environmental stewardship.” 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.
