In this case North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with a research engineer from Iran working in the field of chemical engineering. His findings on, among other topics, thermoelectric power plant water consumption and the catalytic processes involved in conversion of glucose to fructose had been disseminated through his 14 publications, 8 of which were articles in peer-reviewed journals ranked at the top of their categories and 6 of which were conference presentations. We further demonstrated the high significance of his work with documentation at the time of filing of no fewer than 44 citations world-wide to his publications, primarily stemming from independent researchers. The extensive evidence we submitted amply supported our argument that his continued employment as a chemical engineer would be beneficial to chemical engineering and the nation as a whole. An independent recommender commented upon the value of his work: “These are very important developments that provide clear evidence for how degraded water sources can be utilized by thermoelectric power plants, decreasing overall reliance upon freshwater supplies.” In all, we successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than other workers with similar education and experience. As a result, his NIW petition was approved in four months and sixteen days.
