Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Research Associate from France in the field of Statistics. He focuses in the highly specialized areas of computer programming, analytics, and statistics as applied to biomedical research and disease. Specifically, much of his work centers on developing and applying statistics and machine learning methods to discover underlying phenomena and patterns in large datasets. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Statistics, including at least 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles, published in leading journals and multiple presentations at national and international conferences and seminars. His publications had been cited at least 66 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, “The software resources [client] has invented have propelled the scientific community significantly closer towards the understanding and eradication of some of the world's most lethal and chronic conditions…His field of work has already been implemented towards the design of novel synthetic reagents and compounds, and his most recent contributions have the potential to aid in the detection of cancer and the development of therapeutic targets for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.” 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 6 months and 28 days.
