Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral researcher from Uzbekistan working in the field of materials science. She had made substantial contributions to the specialized field of materials science, and particularly that related to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), nanotechnology, carbon-based coatings, and tribology. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of materials science, including at least 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 1 patent application, and numerous conference presentations. Her publications had been cited at least 18 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client] is recognized for her work demonstrating the great robustness of few layer graphene, which is of great importance for improving industrial motor-driven systems, such as for steel used in car engines. … In the end, the value of a scientist’s work is graded by its utility; in [client’s] case, the methodologies she has pioneered are at the forefront of investigations on discovering both effective and environmentally friendly graphene lubricants. In this area, [client’s] accomplishments to date have already made significant contributions to understanding better methods of reducing steel friction.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in 14 weeks.
