Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Electronics Design Engineer from Iran. His work has focused specifically on developing new control methods, fault detection methods, and voltage-regulation methods for novel high-power, multilevel converters that enhance and revolutionize the state of America’s electric power grid infrastructure. 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 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 12 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 208 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, “The problem with flying capacitors inverters was that previously voltage balancing could not be achieved during all operating conditions and there were still significant loopholes in their designs resulting in diminished efficiency. [Client] has introduced two methods that changed the capabilities of such inverters.”  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 7 months and 3 days.
