The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Research Assistant Professor from Nigeria. His work had focused specifically on the T regulatory (Treg) cells, and their capabilities for treating autoimmune diseases and reducing the risk of transplant rejection. 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 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 364 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, “his exceptional abilities to tackle pertinent questions with clinical relevance can be seen in this study in which he demonstrated life -long donor Treg cell engraftment and subsequent induction of skin transplantation tolerance in recipient mice…This work provides testable platforms that could be applied directly in clinical settings.” 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 5 months and 19 days.
