The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research Associate from South Korea. Her work has focused specifically on improving food related technologies and production processes. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 10 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. Her publications had been cited at least 34 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has shown that jumbo squid pens have much higher properties of reactivity and solubility. This contributes to the safe production of chitosan, using a process that requires less time and money.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 3 months and 23 days.
