North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Senior Device Engineer from Iran in the field of Electrical Engineering. His work has focused specifically on the improvement of metal-insulator-insulator-metal diodes through step tunneling and defect enhanced direct tunneling, and to metal-insulator-metal based devices through the development of atomic layer deposition, amorphous metal electrodes, and dielectric nanolaminates. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Electrical Engineering, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 78 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 perform peer-review work for several journals. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client] has made significant contributions to the state of the art in his field of research, contributions that can make a difference to the technology industry and the businesses, governmental agencies, and individual consumers it serves around the world. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of the semiconductor technology industry to the health of the global economy, as it generated more than $30 billion in revenue in 2013. Even setting aside the economic benefits of a robust technology industry, the products and services it provides—telecommunications, TVs and smart phones, solar cells, and memory storage—are essential to human society in the modern age. But right now, we don't just need electronic devices—we need them to be smaller and faster than they have ever been before. [Client]’s work contributes to the filling of these needs.”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 7 days.
