In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist from Iran. His work had specifically focused on the areas of soil-structure interactions, utilization of mine tailings as construction material through geopolymerization, complete recycling and utilization of demolished concrete, and industrial waste recycling. 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 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and 6 conference presentations. At the time we filed his case, these publications had been independently cited at least 29 times, indicating the major significance and international influence of his work. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from a recommender, “[He] has also made a marked contribution in the area of sustainable construction materials. Advancements in both of these fields are of critical national interest to the United States because safe and sustainable development is needed from coast to coast. [His] methods have proven to be effective in predicting the behavior and applicability of soil-structure interactions, pile foundations and geopolymer materials.” 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 28 days.
