The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a lead investigator from Italy. His work had focused specifically on the applicability of medical imaging in advanced bioinformatics analyses. 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 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of which are first-authored) and over 19 conferences posters, abstracts, and presentations. His publications had been cited 11 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, “Bolstered by his multidisciplinary proficiency in physics, neurological disorders, and materials science, [client] has become an expert whose research demonstrably benefits the nation’s public health and healthcare system on an unparalleled level.” 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 9 days.
