The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research and Development Intern from Iran. His work has focused widely on oil recovery enhancement techniques. 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 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 69 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. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] worked on hydraulic fracturing optimization and reservoir characterization.… He developed a workflow in 2012 for predicting and mapping natural fractures, and he also performed an extensive sensitivity analysis on hydraulic fracturing design parameters. This information is valuable to the company where [client] worked and also throughout the field, and the outcome of his work is being used by the engineers and geoscientists there.” 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 28 days.
