Client’s Testimonial:

 

It is such a honor to work with Attorney Chen - Chen Immigration Law Associates. The attorneys are always ready to assist in the possible best way. The greatest part is they draft every single document for me and always communicate their ideas clearly and concisely. This is the best choice if you are applying for US permanent residency. I will post my testimony on immigration forums, thanks again.

Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law GroupWeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Senior Research and Development Engineer from Taiwan. His work has focused specifically on the areas of non-fouling and functionalized surfaces and microfluidics. 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 scientific articles, two book chapters, one US patent, and eight Chinese patents. His publications had been cited at least 173 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 on [client’s] research record, I believe that [client] is one of the most productive Ph.D. students in the Mechanical Engineering discipline around the globe. During his Ph.D. program and post-doc research fellowship program in Canada, [he] has contributed toward a total of 14 journal publications and book chapters. [Client’s] research overlaps with my microfluidics/nanofluidics studies; and therefore I feel that I am qualified to comment on his research results.”  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 11 months, 6 days.
