The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Visiting Professor from South Korea. His work had focused specifically on the development of cutting edge, mathematically-based computational models designed for testing and simulation for new product and technology designs in multiple industries. 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 22 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 43 times at the time we filed the case and 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 value of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Both of these projects have proven to be valuable to researchers in the field of CAD and to engineers in the field. These projects led to a refinement of the existing tools as well as to an increase in the number and capability of the tools that we have at our disposal to support the engineering planning and design with current and next-generation technologies.[He] is currently continuing his work in these two directions, and I expect him to continue to exhibit the same level of success he has had in the past.” 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 7 months and 4 days.
