The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Research Assistant and PhD Candidate from Iran. His work had focused on the fluid dynamics of biological systems, specifically on the circulation of leukocytes in microvascular networks, the simulation of blood flow in capillary networks, and novel methods of separating plasma from whole blood for diagnostic purposes. 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 7 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 59 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, “[His] novel fabrication technique has opened the door to the testing of a wider range of hypotheses than what was possible before. This technology will be particularly useful for studies that are difficult or impossible to perform in vivo such as investigations of the effect of network architecture, leukocyte count and activation status on the overall capillary network resistance, and the dynamics of blood flow in individual capillaries. In addition to the technique developed during this project, the findings of this study in and of themselves are valuable as well. They have direct implications for modeling the involvement of leukocytes in damage to the endothelium of arteriolar bifurcations and their subsequent accumulation in atherosclerotic plaques. These results will also aid in the understanding of the patterns seen in the accumulation of marginated leukocytes during wound healing or 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 5 months and 2 days.
