The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Nepal. His work has focused specifically on the development of a novel technique to analyze the changes that occur in nanomaterials in real-time. 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 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 15 presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 222 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] then used the microscope to observe the structural evolutions that occur in the battery during a typical charging and discharging cycle in real-time, which is the first time that this technology has been possible. Using this technology, [client] was able to discover why silicon nanowires, which are a central part of lithium ion batteries, break down after a relatively short period of use, the cause of which is cracking in the wires due to lithium diffusion.” 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 23 days.
