Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Senior Research Scientist from South Korea in the field of Physics. His work has focused specifically on the development of a new thermal measurement platform, which has enabled scientists and engineers to characterize multiple thermoelectric heat properties with one shot measurement and develop a high contrast cell imaging device in nanosystems. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to physics & nanoscience and engineering, including 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 6 presentations at national and international conferences, 1 book chapter, and 1 pending patent. His publications had been cited at least 33 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, “Not only does his work significantly advance the field of nanotechnology through the provision of foundational knowledge, but his work also affects many of the United States’ most important industries, not the least of which are the biomedical industry, semiconductor industry, and electronic industry. As such, his work will bring immense economic and environmental benefits to the United States.” 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 3 months and 6 days.
