Success Stories: Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nebraska in the Field of Computational Materials Science Has NIW Petition Approved
Client’s Testimonial:
Thanks for this fabulous news and thanks for doing a great job petitioning on my behalf. When we signed the contract, from the tales that I have heard from others who have petitioned through lawyers, I was expecting to do a lot of the time consuming work like preparing petition letter and recommendation letters by myself. Thus, I was relieved to find out that you prepared the first drafts for these and only directed me to do what I can do best--describe my research and its significance, which saved me a lot of time. I have already recommended your firm to couple of friends of mine, and I will continue to recommend you to anybody who asks for my advice!

The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from the United Kingdom. His work had focused specifically on first-principles based investigation of the properties of ferroelectrics and multiferroics, as well as transport properties of nanoscale interfaces. 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 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been cited at least 35 times; the majority of these citations were by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. The influence of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Many industries in the United States today require a large amount of computing power. The improvement of memory devices with materials like the ones [he] studies will mean more successful businesses and services in this country. Additionally, there is always strong demand for further advancements in communication and security technology across the country, from the concerns and needs of private citizens to the requirements of the government itself. [His] research, although very specific, has the potential to have consequences that positively affect the entire nation.” 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 13 days.
