The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research Associate and Doctoral Candidate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on improvement of reliability across a variety of architectures, including innovative Network-on-Chip router design. 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 at least 3 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 33 times at the time of case filing;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 of computer hardware engineering. The importance of his unique work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, ““[He] has worked intensively over the past few years on developing Network-on-Chip architectures. Such architectures are in demand by large hardware developers because they are instrumental in enabling the shrinking of processors that we see happening increasingly around the global hardware development landscape. It is notable the [he] has taken on such a complex and integral topic so early in his research career. There are not many industries that could not benefit from a continuation of the research done by [him].” 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 5 months and 23 days.
