Less than six months after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for an Iranian Adjunct Faculty Member in the field of Educational Technology, the USCIS sent him notification of case approval. In the petition letter customized for our client, we carefully presented his significant contributions to the field along with evidence to support our argument. With our client’s extensive credentials and our unique legal strategy, it came as no surprise that our client secured the national interest waiver.
As an expert in the field of educational technology, our client’s research is of great importance because it improves the technology that enables digital learning, which, as digital technology has advanced, has become a powerful tool for improving education systems and reaching a variety of learners. In addition, his focus area of language education is extremely important as language learning correlates to better academic performance and increased mental performance.
Our client has also built an impressive record of citation and publication－59 citations collected from 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored) as well as a co-authored book and one first-authored book chapter. It is undoubted that his work has gone on to influence his peers and colleagues and is widely recognized and relied upon in the field.
We also helped our client select a handful of suitable recommenders to further support the petition. One of the five recommendation letters described our client and his research with the following excerpt: “[Client] is an established researcher in the field of educational technology whose research focuses on increasing the effectiveness of digital language acquisition. His work not only builds student engagement and assists educators in teaching languages but also provides digital tools that are available outside of traditional classroom settings, thereby increasing the number of people who have access to language learning tools.

We congratulate our client on overcoming this hurdle and thank him for choosing us to be part of his success story. We wish our client the best as he continues to carry out impactful research in the United States.
