Case Summary:

The client North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com worked with here was a researcher currently engaged in pediatric surgical innovations who is from Iran. His work in the field of mechanical engineering has specifically focused on the use of robotics in medical technology, particularly for precise and accurate needle placement. His innovative and important work has resulted in 5 peer-reviewed publications, 13 conference presentations, and even a pending patent. We submitted extensive documentation showing that his contributions to the field are considered highly significant, including evidence that his publications had been cited by leading members of the global scientific community at least 58 times by the time we filed the case. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “This robot [designed by Client] is mounted on the patient undergoing the MRI procedure. The robot is designed to precisely orient a needle to deliver contrast agents to joints in a minimally invasively manner. By eliminating the CT-[fluoroscopy] imaging typically used, and conducting all procedures in the MRI room, this will ensure that children receive no harmful ionizing radiation.” This is particularly important since exposure to the radiation used in the procedure our client’s invention displaces can put children at a significantly elevated risk of cancer as they grow older. We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in mechanical engineering would be of clear benefit to those in the field and to the United States as a whole, and successfully argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar qualifications of education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in seven months and twelve days.
