North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Senior Research Engineer from Iran in the field of Electrical Engineering. His work has focused specifically on network interference alignment – a highly technical means of overcoming slow speeds and unreliability in wireless networks. He has also done groundbreaking research on code regeneration, which is a common means by which network or data failure is addressed. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Electrical Engineering, including 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 256 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 also works as a peer reviewer for several major journals and conferences. As stated by one independent recommender, “All this work is of great importance for the United States as those be key elements in future, widely used, robust digital networks. Network interference and index coding are two major obstacles to optimal network performance, and [client] has formulated high-impact solutions to both these problems. In this way, his work is essential to the technological fortitude of the United States.” 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 25 days.
