Case Summary:

The client that WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was an Assistant Professor of Oral Medicine from Pakistan.  His work had focused specifically on the study of diagnostic tools for the detection of oral pre-cancer and cancer. 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 9 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 52 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 work has made an impact not only in dentistry and oral medicine, but in general, for the study of oncology in the head and neck region. Indeed, oral cancer is the most dangerous form of cancer that effects the head and neck in humans, and given the relationships of the various body parts in that region, any advancement in oral oncology is an advancement in those areas as well.”  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 6 months and 29 days.
