Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an unemployed client in California in the field Computational Systems Biology. His work has focused specifically on the cellular components of biological systems. As a computational biologist, he has developed and applied various computational tools and techniques in order to discover how cellular components work together within a system. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Computational Systems Biology, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 133 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, “The skills shown by [client] in this strain of research indicate a wide background of not only informatics-based experience, but a thorough understanding of biological systems as well. [Client] and his work exist at the apex of the intersection between biology and informatics, gathering the necessary threads from each side of his prolific history in order to facilitate his current research.” 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 8 months and 1 days.
