The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a postdoctoral associate from Korea. He has worked to impact different areas offering insight into the mechanisms of a number of essential biological processes, including cancer, birth defects and infertility. 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 least 5 peer-reviewed publications and 1 book chapter—a productive and exemplary record compared to that of his peers in the mutual field of research. His publications had been cited at least 69 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] record of publication in highly regarded journals and presentations at internationally regarded conferences, as well as his high citation count, demonstrating his value to the field, are indication that his continued research endeavors will only prove more beneficial to the scientific field, to the medical industry, and to the citizens of the United States.” 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 9 months and 13 days.
