The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was an Assistant Professor from India. His work had focused specifically on systematic inflammation, periodontal disease and associated risks, with particular emphasis on diabetes. 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 6 peer-reviewed journal articles and 4 abstracts published in professional venues. His publications had been cited at least 150 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 a model study that is applicable to other inflammatory pathologies, [client’s] careful identification and targeting of iPLA2 for its superoxide over-production represents a novel way to protect the delicate tissues and supportive structures in the eyes, kidneys, arteries and gum tissues that are vulnerable to inflammation.” 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 7 months and 19 days.
