The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Research Assistant from Iran. His work had focused specifically on the improvement of failure analysis and fatigue crack growth simulation of fan blades utilized for power generators. This is exceptionally important as his research has helped reduce the risk of failures occurring at power plants that can often result in substantial damages, high restoration costs, and potential life threatening risks for workers present at the time of failure. 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 16 peer-reviewed publications and articles from leading international conferences. 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 inherit merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “A strictly multifaceted task, given the complexity of composite materials, [Cient] has chosen an extremely difficult area of research, which is of exceptional national importance to the United States. This is largely related to the worldwide problem of providing a theory that is capable of predicting nonlinear deformations.” 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 10 days.
