The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Scholar from Pakistan. His work has focused specifically on epilepsy research. 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 scientific articles and 20 presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 129 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] was able to conclude that new antiepileptic therapeutic treatments could be tested using his new animal model by observing the drug’s effect on primary after-discharge durations. This research is beneficial to all those suffering from epilepsy in offering easier methods for testing new treatment possibilities.” 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 11 days.
