Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an Assistant Professor from Vietnam in the field of Geographic Information Science. Her work has focused specifically on satellite-based positioning and navigation, urban planning and development analysis, transportation and regional geography, and spatial data analysis and mining techniques with wide range of applications in social and environmental geography. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving her highly significant contributions to Geographic Information Science, including 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, 2 book chapters, and several conference papers and presentations.Her publications had been cited at least 201 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. She also contributed to her field by performing peer review work for multiple scholarly journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] is very skilled in geomatics and geo-positioning systems as well as spatial analysis and she is exactly the kind of person that the USA should be supporting with respect to cutting edge research in a digital world. She is particularly unique because in her field, there are very few working with GPS and spatial analysis techniques in maps and buildings systems and I judge that she is one of the rising stars of her field.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 5 months and 6 days.
