The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Research Associate from Iran. His work had largely focused on multiple target tracking, signal/fault detection and localization. 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 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles, published in leading journals, multiple conference presentations, and a book chapter. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 18 times. The immense value of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The automatic leak detection methods that [he] has pioneered are integral to preventative maintenance, especially in areas of engineering like aerospace and energy technology. His algorithms serve to reduce maintenance costs, prevent public hazards and enhance the safety of workers and engineers in these fields. In addition, inflatable space habitats are being conceptualized, and such a system will be critical to ensuring the safety and structural integrity of these habitats.” 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 6 months and 1 day.
