Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Project Engineer from Iran.  His work had focused specifically on the virtual computational modeling of fuel surrogates and fuel spray behavior. 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 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 21 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 contributed his expertise in fuel management to work outside of automotive engineering as well.  His multi-component fuel models proved pivotal in the scientific understanding of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and the data derived from its application was invaluable in lessening the negative effects from the disaster.  With [client’s] model already proven in its efficacy, this can be applied to any future disasters of this ilk.”  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 6 days.
