The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Ph.D. Candidate from Iran. His work has focused specifically on breakthroughs relating to high-performance computing/supercomputing. 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 1 peer-reviewed journal articles, 13 conference articles, and 1 published tech report. His publications had been cited at least 57 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] unique research has consistently optimized HPC solutions in the context of the big data revolution, enabling supercomputers to more effectively process the exponentially expanding quantities of scientific information. Without [client’s] research, advancements in the field of computer science would not only suffer—so too would the success of research conducted in a myriad of other settings, as in today's era, use of supercomputers is ubiquitous.” 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 15 days.
