North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Research Associate from Azerbaijan in the field of Geophysics. His work has focused specifically on factors that influence permafrost thaw and snowmelt, particularly in the context of climate change, forest fire, and changes in carbon cycle. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Geophysics, including 3 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 16 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.
