The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was an Electricity Market Consultant from Iran. His work had focused specifically on creating algorithms to improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of power systems. As an Electricity Market Consultant, he has analyzed a wide range of ISO markets in the United States and has conducted many studies on wind curtailment and economic dispatch. 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 2 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 technical reports, and 10 conference papers presented at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 19 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 inherit merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] used the traditional constrained particle swam optimization method, but integrated it with a new particle initialization and update technique. This resulted in faster convergence and avoided the local minima problem as it co-optimized the energy and reserve while also accounting for the constraints put in place by both the system and the generators. In addition to overcoming the issue of local minima, this original method also reduces the cost of electricity production, thus lowering the price for the customers.” 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 4 months and 19 days.
