The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Scholar from China. Her work had focused specifically on various atmospheric and climate related phenomena, building essential foundational data to help predict climate change and understand the effect of carbon dioxide in the environment. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articlesand numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 63 times at the time of case filing by researchers around the world,demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Improved knowledge of the carbon cycle and atmospheric composition is creating new developments in green technology, as scientists better understand the effect of emissions and how to reduce and circulate them. Furthermore, the study of trace gases and [her] use of the near-infrared spectrum for retrieval of atmospheric compounds is revolutionizing the way we perceive the composition of the atmosphere, and has profound implications for new atmospheric technology and sensing devices, as well as green technology.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 9 days.
