North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Researcher from Japan in the field of Physics. His work has focused specifically on the design, production, and validation of both a novel method of detecting Dark Matter in a time projection chamber and a more cost-effective prototype of a nuclear bomb locator. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Physics, including 11 peer-reviewed journal articles and 5 conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 293 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, “It may seem that particle physics or astrophysics research has little benefit for any industry beyond increasing the knowledge of other researchers in the field. This is, however, a gross misconception. While the benefits of other types of research may be measurable in the short-term, the benefits of the type of research done by [client] are more perceptible in the long-term. Research in the field of physics has enabled technological advancements that are experienced in industries all over the world. Some examples of technologies that sprung from research originally focused on answer [SIC] astrophysical questions are GPS and wireless internet technologies. These are features of daily life that many of us take for granted, but wouldn’t be possible without research like [client]’s.” 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 4 days.
