Case Summary:

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Basic Life Science Research Associate from Spain. Her work had focused specifically on the development of a deeper understanding of molecular and cellular biology via novel applications of imaging methods including the use of bioluminescence and other non-invasive molecular imaging techniques. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to her field, including 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 peer-reviewed journal abstracts, 1 patent, and numerous national and international conference presentations. At the time we filed her case, these publications had been cited at least 258 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. The immense value of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Overall, [her] research prowess is directed toward the development of superior systems to monitor cellular activities. Economically, these investigations by [her] have not only been important to science and medicine, but also hold significant commercial value in terms of offering new and improved techniques for the development of novel medicinal therapeutics.” 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. Hers NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 15 days.
