Case Summary:
In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Iran. He had made substantial contributions to the field of Chemistry/Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering, which is a highly specialized and niche area of work impacting many diverse disciplines, including different areas of Material Science and Engineering, Chemistry, and Biochemistry. 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 at least 5 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals and one book chapter. These publications had been cited at least 831 times at the time of case filing; the majority of these citations are independent and international researchers from institutions around the world, indicating the global significance of his research work. The national impact of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Increasing the capacity for energy technologies is vitally important for the global community and especially the United States, in terms of economics, health, quality of life, and competition with the rest of the world. My own work […] constantly takes these factors into account. The work of [client] focuses on the development of efficient electrical energy storage and conversion devices and novel ionic liquids that are exceedingly useful for the development of more technologically advanced fuel cells and electronic cars.” 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 9 days.
