The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Germany. His work had focused specifically on aggressive forms of brain cancer. 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 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored) and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 97 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, “It is my professional opinion that [client’s] ongoing research will not only be highly significant, but will also prove vital to the continual improvement of public health in the United States. Our nation has gained much from [client’s] work and would certainly benefit from [his] continued research presence here.” 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, 26 days.
