The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Japan. His work had focused specifically on the numerical simulation of space plasma, particularly in phenomena occurring in or around the Earth’s magnetosphere. 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 24 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 304 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] was the first to show that connections between large and small scales can occur within Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices and can determine how the vortices develop. The work is important because Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices represent a fundamental mode for solar wind-magnetosphere interaction and the entry of solar wind energy into the Earth’s magnetosphere.” 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 26 days.
