The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Iran His work had focused specifically on the upper atmosphere physics and the study of the physics of the magnetosphere/ionosphere interaction. As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Utah, he is continuing his upper atmosphere studies as well as creating computational models for such things as developing photonic nanojets for the detection and treatment of disease. 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 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and 9 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 33 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’s] studies are of great importance to expand our understanding of the universe…. [Client] has provided groundwork for researchers to continue to build on. As a fellow researcher in PIC modeling, I am aware that researchers count on the developments of other scientists to fuel their own laboratory work. [Client] is a revolutionary force in my chosen area of research.” 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 16 days.
