In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Research Associate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on heat treatment of steel, solidification modeling, and studying phase transformations and microstructural evolution during material processes using various numerical and experimental techniques and high-performance computing. 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 11 peer-reviewed journal articles, a book translation, peer review for respected journals, and numerous conference papers. At the time we filed his case, his publications had been cited at least 23 times; the majority of these citations were by independent researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. The significance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “This field is particularly significant because of the real world implications it proffers. Although [his] research is highly specialized, it is fundamental for scientists improving manufacturing processes by increasing our understanding of materials at the micro level. [His] work has already contributed to the field in profound ways and we still have a great deal to learn from him.He has exhibited the ability to be a leader and strongly influence the direction of research conducted by the scientific academic community in materials science and engineering for the betterment of the field.” 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 28 days.
