The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Doctoral Student from Taiwan. His work had focused specifically on orthopedic surgery, especially in adolescents. 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 4 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 22 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’s] research is not only useful for the countless Americans who suffer from traumatic injury, but it is applicable to a multitude of surgical and medical research techniques and procedures.” 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 24 days.
