The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a research assistant professor from Taiwan. His work has focused specifically on cryopreservation, which is a technique that for preserving biological tissues and cells by carefully freezing them. 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 22 peer-reviewed journal articles (11 of them first-authored) and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 130 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, “As I believe I have demonstrated, [client’s] research has led to important discoveries that are benefitting the United States through the advancement of lifesaving biomedical research, including the study of cancer. The United States will obviously profit from allowing a researcher of [client’s] caliber to live and work within its borders, improving the lives of the American people substantially.” 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 2 months and 10 days.
