Case Summary:

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Module and Integration Yield Engineer from South Korea.  His work had focused specifically on the development and subsequent use of multi-function porous materials created from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). 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 6 peer-reviewed journal articles, numerous conference papers, and several patents. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 63 times,demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field.  The influence of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] makes a nearly constant habit to produce groundbreaking findings such as these, and the importance of his work to engineering and our discipline should not be underestimated.  As his findings can be applied to a variety of technological applications, his research is pivotal in the advancement of all manners of technological developments.  He has shown himself to have the ability to view one issue from all possible angles; for example, his most cited work involves the use of SWCNTs in a successful attempt to find a suitable elastic conductor for technological applicationsHe is of no doubt of great value to whatever country houses him and his work.”  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 13 days.
