Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Iran in the field of Oxy-fuel Combustion. His work has focused specifically on streamlining the diagnostics of ignition, combustion, and emissions of coal and biomasses in these novel gaseous environments. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Oxy-fuel Combustion, including 12 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 162 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 has also been invited to perform peer-review work for several prestigious scholarly journal and conference publications. As stated by one independent recommender, “I would like to share my appreciation of the amazing work done by [client] in his examination of the combustion behavior of various types of coal. His research efforts are at the forefront of the development of clean coal technology, and are therefore a crucial part of America’s efforts to achieve energy independence.” 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 4 months and 4 days.
