Case Summary:
In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Senior Engineer from Iran. His work had focused specifically on manufacturing design and custom machining. 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 2 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 published thesis, and 9 conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 4 times at the time of case filing, all of which were cited by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are recognized and relied upon in the field of mechanical engineering. The significance of his research was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[His] work has national (and international) significance in the development of laser engineering, which is utilized in many industrial settings, such as automotive and manufacturing, but also applies to the medical field as well.” 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 6 months and 3 days.
