The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Associate from South Korea. His work had focused specifically on the development and characterization of graphene-based materials, zinc oxide nanowires, carbon nanotubes, and organic nanowires for engineering powerful electronic devices. 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 14 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 985 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, “This work is the first of its kind and applicable in biomedical devices for diagnosing disease, but also for treating disease. For instance, in treating cancer, pairing graphene biocompatible nanocarriers with life-saving drugs aids in targeting and delivering these drugs to malignant cells […]. [Client] is essential to America’s progress in such innovative technology, improving not just day to day life but saving life itself.” 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 5 months and 9 days.
