Case Summary: North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com worked with a scientist in the field of Cardiology. The client had previously investigated protein kinase G (PKG) in the pulmonary artery relaxation as a response to hydrogen peroxide. In separate studies, she had determined the redox mechanism roles that control PKG in the pulmonary and coronary arteries in response to hypoxia, and also investigated G1α’s subunit thiol oxidation-elicited dimerization. This client published her work in 6 conference proceedings and 6 additional peer-reviewed journals. These publications had been cited 55 times when the case was filed, indicating the major significance and international influence of her work. One independent recommender explained: “[Client's] research benefits many people suffering from cardiovascular conditions across the United States. Everyone has a cardiovascular system, and they take care of it with varying degrees of attention or have inherited conditions that make them more susceptible to disease. The potential for someone to develop a heart-related condition depends on many factors, but the potential is always there nonetheless. It is important to have researchers within the country working on such many areas of health concerns, because the on-going development of new and improved cardiovascular treatments is likely to have a great impact in terms of saving lives and improving the life style of those living with these problems.” This EB-2 NIW petition was approved 3 months, 3 days after the case was filed.
