The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a postdoctoral scholar from Russia. His work has focused specifically on Positron emission Tomography imaging, and in the past, compounds for pharmaceutical development. 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 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored), three patents and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 16 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, “[Client] has devised a novel method for this type of synthesis, using in his case, direct enzyme acylation of amines under [enzymatic] catalysis. This work has been used by his fellow researchers to further improve the methods of synthesizing important compounds for medical research. His efforts contribute to a more comprehensive campaign by a large community addressing new treatments for serious diseases and conditions in the United States and around the world.” 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 1 day.
