The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Assistant Professor from Iran. Her work has focused specifically on power and energy systems. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, 6 peer-reviewed journal articles and 21 peer-reviewed conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 135 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Her work has proved to be essential for the development and continuation of investigation on renewable resources, which is a critical issue today. With the high cost and limitations on non -renewable resources, such as gasoline and coal, the need and concern for finding and harnessing renewable resources is becoming increasingly apparent…These problems have been hard to overcome, but [client’s] research on these issues has helped the industry to surmount this major hurdle.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 19 days.
