Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Researcher from Iran. His work has focused specifically on increasing the understanding and performance of severe shot peening, which he has proved to be superior in many ways to conventional shot peening.  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 25 peer-reviewed journal articles and 1 book. His publications had been cited at least 139 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, “[Clien] provided a detailed comparison of SP vs. SSP that allows researchers in the field to maximize the nanostructures created and create materials with specific properties by precisely defining shot peening parameters.”  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 8 months and 19 days.
