The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Research Fellow from India. His work had focused specifically on the allosteric binding sites in nicotinic acetylcholine and γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors, identifying new targets for drug development. 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. His publications had been cited at least 30 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, “Based upon my knowledge of his excellent training as a PhD student and his outstanding accomplishments in my lab, it is clear that he is a scientist of exceptional ability. There are very few scientists in the world who have his combined expertise in electrophysiology and protein chemistry.” 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 7 days.
