Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Doctoral Researcher from Taiwan.  His work had focused specifically on string theory, quantum gravity and other areas of high-energy physics. 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 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles. His publications had been cited at least 207 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, “The findings made in this study, which include the discovery that information does get released from black holes and the various components that facilitated this discovery, have been implemented by scientists across the globe, particularly relying on the functions that [Client] developed.”  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 17 days.
