The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was an Economist from Iran. His work has focused on the economics of exhaustible resources, monetary and fiscal policies under labor market inefficiencies, and the interconnectedness of global markets. 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 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 5 working papers, 5 conference and seminar presentations, 10 policy notes, and peer review for 2 journals. His publications had been cited at least 84 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] has also improved our understanding of spillovers from macro-developments in one country to another via his empirical multi-country macroeconomic modeling. He assessed the propagation of shocks emanating in one country to domestic and foreign macroeconomic variables of other economies.” 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 9 months and 1 day.
