The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Graduate Research Assistant from South Korea. His work had focused specifically on the development of highly advanced medical implants and the design of new production methods for these implants. 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 2 patent applications, 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 28 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] succeeded in developing novel biodegradable metallic alloys suitable for conventional medical hardware and customized 3D printed scaffolds. This research is crucial for giving victims of war casualties and cancers a second chance at living a normal life. Bone grafting scaffolds can correct the physical damage caused by gunfire, aggressive mouth and jaw tumors, and severe injuries. this research is a great step forward in my field.” 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.
