The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Associate Research Scientist from Spain. His work has focused specifically on the investigation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and pancreatic 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 19 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 362 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, “In addition, he was able show that recurrence and shorter survival rate depend on the site of tumorigenesis, which is an alert to physicians that patients with laryngeal cancer and cortactin amplification have a more narrow window for survival than pharyngeal cancer patients.” 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 20 days.
