Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Operations Research Developer from Iran.  His work has focused specifically on applying mathematical approaches to achieve optimization for the improvement of various systems.  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 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 31 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.  The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “One of [client]’s most influential research projects focused on the combinatorial optimization of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly.  His research provides some of the first insights into the kitting process for electronics manufacturing, providing ways to integrate the internal setup operations with these external operations. [Client] developed various Branch-and-Price algorithms as well as Mixed-Integer Linear Programming models to come up with two optimal and exact approaches for this type of assembly.”  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 23 days.
