The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Cyprus. His work had focused specifically on molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and microbial and parasite genomics. 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 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 25 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] and his colleagues are investigating its potential for cost-effective vaccine production for influenza and malaria in humans. […]The tools and methodologies being developed in this research are being widely used by biological researchers, and have implications for breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other lethal diseases.” 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 18 days.
