The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work with in this case was an Assistant Professor from Iran. His work has focused specifically on the implementation of wide-scale system improvements via novel simulations for enhanced efficiency in health care, electrical, and agricultural operations. 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 14 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 35 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, “Perhaps one of [client’s] most crucial projects in his work on the concept of the Smart Grid, utilizing Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) strategically arranged in Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) to record instances of malfunctions and disruptions in power systems and to take immediate action to remedy them. [Client] is in [the] forefront of this area of research; it is his modeling that can finally address concerns of where PMUs and WAMS are most vital, where redundancy is needed, and how risk can be mitigated.” 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 4 months and 10 days.
