Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Staff Engineer from Nepal working in the field of materials engineering. His work had focused specifically on delineating the mechanical and physical properties of materials for application in a variety of technological contexts. We demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his 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 engineering, including at least 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 188 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “In particular, I believe that his work on the deformation behavior of collagen and hydroxyapatite-collagen interfacial interactions exhibit remarkable potential to improve the design of nanocomposites, bone biomaterials, as well as a host of other high-performance devices […] These findings, as well as the unique methodology [he] employed for his study, have great applications for the treatment of bone diseases, and promise to be useful for modeling the behavior of a myriad of biomaterials and nanocomposites for diverse applications.” 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 application was approved in just less than 2 months.
