Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Researcher South Korea. His work has focused specifically on the microstructures of gels, fluids and viscoelastic solids. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his 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 his highly significant contributions to his field, including 5 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 43 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. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Innovatively, [client] used a novel mixing method to show that as long as the thermodynamic self-consistency criterion is met, the choice of mixing does not harm the accuracy of the prediction of liquid structure. Through the utilization of this working technique, [client] also calculated the structure for liquids that tend to aggregate under specific conditions.” 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 7 months and 24 days.
