Case Summary:

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Sri Lanka. Her work had focused specifically on the development of innovative and high-performance computational methods of modeling protein interactions, which constitute the basis of virtually all biological and chemical activity on earth. 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 at least 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. These publications had been cited at least 40 times at the time of case filing by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. The influence of her research was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Computational models are also very important in the design of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, as most of the products associated with these two areas can only be improved on through the use of computational biology. It is for this reason that [her] work in the field of computational biology has such a far reaching effect on many subfields of biology and medical science. Her work deals with revealing some of the most critical components of the human body as a machine.” 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 4 months and 20 days.
