North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Research Engineer in California in the field of Electrical Engineering. His work has focused on integrated circuit design and optical electronic receivers. His research results have directly contributed to improving wireless communication capabilities in places ranging from airplanes to hospitals to apartments. In fact, his research efforts have contributed so significantly to advancing the performance capacity of optical wireless receivers that they have played a large part in turning this type of technology from a small piece of the wireless communication market to an emerging powerhouse in that market in the United States and has thus had a noticeable economic impact. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Electrical Engineering, including 3 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 32 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. He has also been invited to serve as a reviewer for a number of internationally acclaimed journals. As stated by one independent recommender, “For sure, the major innovations that [client] has contributed to wireless optical receivers in CMOS technology are enough to establish him as a clear leader in the research field of the high data rate wireless optical receivers using cheap Integrated Circuit technologies like CMOS, with skills and expertise that far exceed most other scientists working in the same field.” 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 11 days.
