North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a PhD Student from Taiwan in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His work has focused specifically on Nonlinear Silicon Photonics. Specifically, he has been focused on the design and fabrication of silicon photonic devices, as these devices are essential for meeting the challenges of the ultra-fast transfer of data. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Electrical and Computer Engineering, including 19 peer-reviewed articles and numerous conferences. His publications had been cited at least 64 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 some of the leading journals in his field. As stated by one independent recommender, “It could be easily argued that [client]’s work offers a very real benefit to the economy of the United States, as new advances like [client]’s lead to job creation, for example, in the electronics and computer and related industries. In fact, advances like [client]’s keep the United States at the forefront of the creation of the kinds of technological advances that are leveraged in order to keep economies competitive, in general, particularly in our increasingly computer-connected world.”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 6 months and 9 days.
