The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a postdoctoral engineer from Jordan. His work had focused specifically on designing, modeling, and testing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). 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 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 61 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 an independent recommender, “In this realm, [client] has demonstrated, through the introduction of new methodology, novel discoveries, and the innovative use of the latest technology, the inception of hitherto unknown information related to mechanical and MEMS engineering. For specialists like myself, who are devoted to dissecting the intricacies of MEMS energy harvesting, the work performed by [client] in this area sheds light on the capabilities and day to day application of MEMS.” 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 8 months and 22 days.
