The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow from Iran. His work had focused specifically on linear algebra and Fast Fourier Transforms. As a postdoctoral researcher, he has studied high performance computing and computer architecture in full detail. 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 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (both of them first-authored) and over 10 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 82 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 inherit merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “His work contributes directly to a variety of industries, thereby influencing the global population as a whole by increasing researchers' abilities to create new methodologies when it comes to computer engineering and high performance computing.” 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 28 days.
