The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a research associate from Sri Lanka. His work had focused specifically on cellular and molecular interactions in order to find ways to improve health and correct detrimental effects. 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 12 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at total of 63 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, “People who have this sort of talent and skill are a rare sort, and it is vital that they are able to carry on with their studies. We have already seen evidence of this with [client] – the fields of biochemistry and animal science have been improved by his work.” 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 7 months and 8 days.
