North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a PhD Candidate in California in the field of Electrical Engineering. His work has focused specifically on developing power recycling schemes for electronic devices, energy harvesting in microwave signals, and improving transponder and repeater systems. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Electrical Engineering, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles, 13 peer-reviewed conference papers, and several presentations. His publications had been cited at least 27 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “The transponder he presented requires only one single active device, making it a prime target for use in portable devices. This reveals his expansive knowledge of multiple microwave-utilizing antennas and devices, giving him an advantage over many of his peers in the field whose studies are restricted by limited experience.” 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 22 days.
