In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from South Korea. His work had focused specifically on improving our treatment capabilities for neurodegenerative diseases through research into the associated molecular mechanisms. 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. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 104 times byresearchers around the world; 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 national significance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “The specific impacts of [his] research on the United States are immeasurable. By working to find an effective treatment for MS, he is reducing the massive costs which this disabling and long-lasting disease has on our economy. MS affects over 400,000 adults in the US, disabling them and preventing them from contributing productive years to the workforce. So, in addition to improving the public health of our nation, [his] research affects the country's financial resources. With this kind of impact, it is clear that [he] is an asset to the United States and should continue his research within the country.” 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 10 days.
