Case Summary:
The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Petrophysicist from China in the field of petroleum engineering and geoscience.  His substantial contributions to the field included modeling subterranean features and solving for unknown data sets with limited information.  We successfully demonstrated that his 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 at least 15 invited-presentations and 11 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals and at prestigious conferences; these publications had been cited at least 13 times at the time of case filing, indicating the major significance of his work, considering the low citation climate in his field.  The pertinent vitality of his contributions was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[His] models provide customizable tools for the evaluation and extraction of these unconventional reservoir deposits that solve for the uncertainty and minutia better than traditional predictive approaches, including those with built-in optimization algorithms.”  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 5 months and 30 days.
