Case Summary:

At North America Immigration Law Group– WeGreened.com, we recently received an EB1B approval for a Research Scientist in the field of civil engineering. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. His specialized research had focused on the study of crack-free concrete bridge decks, long-term bridge performance, innovative concrete materials, reinforced concrete structures and how we can use advanced design and materials to better construct and rehabilitate everything from bridges to nuclear power plants. His research work had resulted in multiple peer-reviewed scholarly articles published in leading journals, numerous conference proceedings and presentations, and field reports. Furthermore, the beneficiary had a total of 7 citations to his work by researchers around the world and his work related to construction of low-cracking high-performance bridge decks had been downloaded dozens of other times by researchers from different countries. We provided evidence showing that engineering has one of the lowest citation rates of any field. The popularity of the beneficiary’s research is confirmed in the following quote by an independent recommender, “His research is integral to greater implementation of UHPC, as no other engineer has yet managed to reveal as much critical information regarding UHPC mixes as [he]. Simply put, we in the field have come to rely on [his] input, as his judgment, perspective, and technical ability place him among the most skilled and accomplished in the field” It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an alien of outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for his outstanding achievements. His petition was approved in just over 5 months.

Those approvals notices are from clients who retained us from the beginning of the case preparation. In addition, we also successfully helped around additional 70 clients preparing their RFE (Request for Evidence) responses that were originally filed by other law firms or by DIY clients filing the cases themselves. In addition, we helped around 30 clients preparing for their EB1B cases for their employers to file. In these cases, we are not able to get approval notices as we are not the attorney on record.

We provide the most comprehensive service for NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB-1 petitions, including drafting recommendation letters (from the scratch), drafting the petition letter and respond to RFE (without extra charge). Qualified clients are entitled to our “approval or refund” service and if in a rare case the petition is denied, the attorney fee will be refunded.
