The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a Postdoctoral Scholar from Russia. Her work had focused specifically on the physics and the development of new techniques for the evaluation of nanoporous materials and porous systems. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articles. Her publications had been cited at least 78 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 her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Through the implementation of 2D 6Li MAS NMR, [Client] was able to obtain information about the lithium exchange processes, which provided insight into diffusion pathways and hopping rates of lithium captions in orthorhombic R-Li3VF6. Together this information holds incredible value for the United States, as they are looking to improve the properties of cathode materials demanded for lithium ion batteries with longer life spans and higher current.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 7 days.
