The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a PhD Student from Iran. His work has focused specifically on developing innovative, environmentally-friendly methods of generating biofuels and other forms of renewable energy. 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 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book, 1 book chapter and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. His publications had been cited at least 95 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 results from [client’s] investigation are imperative to improve processes for the creation of environmentally friendly biodiesel from waste cooking oil that meets the ASTM D6751 standards… This research based on [client’s] work is especially valuable because waste cooking oils may cause environmental hazards if they are not disposed properly.” 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 8 days.
