North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Research Assistant Professor from Germany in the field of Semiconductor Optics. His work has focused on semiconductor crystal growth, specifically molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), for optical device applications. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Semiconductor Optics, including 43 peer-reviewed journaland numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 737 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, “[Client] has made indispensable achievements in modern laser technology, particularly that of VECSEL technology. Without the contributions elaborated upon in this letter, the United States would undoubtedly possess a weaker understanding of laser technology and its applications that have vast and important effects over an expansive domain, ranging from economic well-being to national security and surveillance concerns.” 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 8 days.
