The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Germany. His work has focused on the characterization of extrasolar planets with various observation techniques. 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 13 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 316 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] has proven an ability to innovate in areas of great importance in astrophysics, and his theoretical developments translated to useful techniques and data analysis methods for the betterment of the field.” 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 6 months and 11 days.
