In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Bioinformatics Analyst and Computer Systems Engineer from South Korea. His work had largely focused on the development of high-performance algorithms, fingerprint recognition systems, and improved software systems for bioinformatics. 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 4 peer-reviewed scientific articles in English (with 14 published in Korean) published in leading journals, multiple conference presentations, and 2 book chapters. His publications had been cited at least 74 times at the time we filed the case, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The immense value of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Without [his] work, scientific discoveries will slow down significantly as data increases but the systems to retrieve that data do not keep up. His software programs also aid in pattern recognition, making analysis easier for researchers. His work creating a fingerprint recognition system benefits anyone who wants to protect their valuables, whether they be physically locked up or stored virtually.” 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 7 months and 14 days.
