In this case North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com worked with a postdoctoral researcher from Taiwan. His research in neuroscience had focused specifically on the critical topic of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s diseases. We were able to demonstrate the continuing benefit of his employment in the field to the United States as a whole as well as specifically to the field of neuroscience, based on his considerable accomplishments. At the time of filing our client had published 11 peer-reviewed publications and prestigious conference articles, which had received at least 1163 citations from throughout the global neuroscience research community, demonstrating wide recognition of and reliance upon his work. An independent recommender affirms the vital nature of our client’s research: “His study furthers our understanding of AD pathogenesis and has greatly impacted the field as it has been widely cited throughout the world.” We successfully argued, using extensive documentation, that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than other researchers in neuroscience with similar educational and experiential credentials. His NIW petition was thus approved in four months and sixteen days.
