North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow from Latvia in the field of Materials Science. His work has focused specifically on organic synthesis. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Materials Science, including 5 peer-reviewed journal articles,one patent application, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 160 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “Given the quality of [client]’s past and present research, I believe that he will continue to make major contributions in the field of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry and that this research will be of significant value to both his home institution and to those corporations that rely upon published research in these areas.” 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 4 months and 8 days.
