North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a PhD Candidate from Iran in the field of Chemical Biology. Her work has focused specifically on developing imaging probes. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Chemical Biology, including 3 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous conference abstracts, as well as a chapter in a book and a pending patent. Her publications had been cited at least 50 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “Her ongoing research into improvements for numerous imaging and synthesis methodologies made right here in the U.S. is necessary for our continued prominence in the field of biochemical research and the continued success of our scientific field.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 16 days.
