Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Fellow from Bangladesh in the field of Computational Science. His work has focused specifically on theoretical modeling of complex materials such as synthetic and bio-polymers. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Computational Science, including 11 peer-reviewed journal articles with one recently accepted for publication, 1 book, 1 book chapter and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 32 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. He also contributed to his field by performing peer review work for multiple scholarly journals. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client]’s research has directly contributed to the wide scale improvement of engineering constructions, globally and in the USA. His contributions have almost single-handedly revealed how graphene can be used to increase polymer efficacy and will aid in the U.S.’s ability to maintain a leading edge in structural engineering. To deny him residency is to cause a significant detriment to the country’s construction abilities.” 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 30 days.
