Case Summary:
The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from Iran. He had been dedicated to advancements in the field of plant molecular biology and the development of a more formal understanding for the production of more sustainable and efficient forms of plants and natural products (secondary metabolites) through genetic engineering. 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 8 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals. These publications had been cited at least 97 times at the time of case filing; the majority of these citations were independent and international researchers from institutions around the world, indicating the global significance of our client’s research work. The importance of his work in the field was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “[He] is a highly motivated and productive scientist, and his extraordinary performance has generated substantial achievements in this field. [His] contributions not only provide advanced knowledge on terpenoid metabolism in plants, but also have broad practical applications in biotechnology. From my point of view, all these groundbreaking discoveries will allow biotech companies to generate transgenic oils.” 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 5 months and 6 days.
