The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Researcher from Iran. His work had focused specifically on optimizing the powder compaction process, as well as the performance of nickel-based superalloys. 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 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 64 times at the time of case and 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 influence of his work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “His research is critical to the design of advanced high-temperature materials, such as those used in jet engines and turbines, and is of great interest to the Air Force, NASA, and major government contractors such as GE Aviation, Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney.” 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 8 months and 9 days.
