Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented an Assistant Professor from Iran in the Field of Nanotechnology. He has worked to develop micro/nano devices that are widely utilized as micro/nano devices, actuators, and sensors. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Mechanical Engineering, including 14 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, and more than 20 conference presentations to national and international audiences. His publications had been cited at least 236 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. He has also been invited to perform peer-review work for 14 journals in his field. As stated by one independent recommender, “Although the US may be the current global leader in nanotechnology, the competition is rapidly increasing as other countries and companies around the world become more and more aware of the value of nanotechnology and increase their investments in this fundamental technology of the future. If the US wishes to maintain its position in this regard, scientists like [client] are just the type of people that will help it accomplish this goal.” 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. His NIW petition was approved in 6 months and 8 days.
