Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Iran.  His work had focused specifically on the optimizing internal combustion engine performance through the use of advanced combustion technologies. 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 and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 30 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, “[Client] has a solid background of educational and hands-on experience, and it is my opinion that his work elevates him above his peers who possess similar credentials. All scientists rely on the work of their peers to inform and guide their own work, and [Client] is one of those in the field whose work most certainly fulfills this need.” 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 26 days.
