Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) helped a geotechnical project engineer from Iran obtain his green card. Our legal team worked diligently to put together a convincing EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet that proved the immense worth of our client’s research to the United States.

Our comprehensive NIW petition dossier documented the 91 citations gathered from our client’s 6 journal articles. It also contained, in part, a copy of our client’s doctoral degree and transcripts, details on his research projects, and five recommendation letters contributed by experts in his field of civil and geotechnical engineering. One of these experts stated that “…his work has significantly enhanced our ability to assess and predict vulnerabilities within soil-pile interactions. This will improve infrastructure design in the United States to best prepare for natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides. Without [Client], I anticipate this field would experience significant delay in progress, for his work has truly catalyzed additional progress in the field…”

We effectively handled all correspondence with the USICS from start to end. For instance, we raised a service request when our client’s I-140 was pending beyond the average processing time. The USCIS ultimately approved not just our client’s I-140, but also his I-485 (which he chose to file while the former was pending approval). We would like to congratulate our client and his wife on attaining their green cards, and we wish them all the best with their future plans.
