The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Director from Iran. His work has focused specifically on HIV/AIDS research, non-communicable disease risk factors, and medical technology and lab based disease surveillance. 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 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 6 published books and book chapters. His publications had been cited at least 410 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’s] work has been recognized by the WHO as a model for other countries, and he has been awarded for his performance and achievement by the minister of health. [Client’s] work has helped bring clinics across Iran up to WHO standards, which in turn improves the quality of service that patients receive, increasing the overall health and well-being. His work has been exemplary and proven wildly beneficial for his fellow citizens.” 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.
