North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow from Iran in the field of Molecular Pharmacology. His work has focused specifically on investigating the novel third endogenous cannabinoid receptor, which he identified, in order to discover its role in critical biological processes. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Molecular Pharmacology, including 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles, one book chapter and 24 presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 430 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. He has also reviewed 3 journal manuscripts, 23 scientific abstracts, and 6 posters. As stated by one independent recommender, “In the majority of Western countries, the prevalence of atopic diseases is as high as 20% and results in costs that are greater than $20 billion dollars (Food allergies account for $25 billion dollars in health care costs and lost revenues). As such, it is vital to the health of this nation and its people that we have researchers who are continually striving to produce new knowledge and medication that will help these people. [Client] is one of these researchers.”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 27 days.
