Case Summary:

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Process Yield and Integration Engineer from India. His work had focused primarily on exploring the design and fabrication of single-crystal piezoelectric sensors and actuators, as well as other applications in optics, and adapting these findings to a broad range of uses in the industrial sector, including optical computing, solar energy, biomedical equipment, and telecommunications. 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 at least 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 3 conference proceedings, and 1 registered patent. These publications had been cited at least 41 times at the time of case filingby researchers around the world, showing the major significance of his work in the field. His extensive and unique abilities were confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Nanotechnology and optics are both incredibly low-cited fields, and considering the dual-specialization, there are few scientists capable of working in [his field.] Additionally, his work is heavily incorporated into the industrial development of these MEMS, and their widespread use is a direct reflection on the importance and impact of his research. Considering the current impact of his work, his continual and long-standing stature among nanotechnology and optical scientists is undeniable, and guarantees future progress.” 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 9 months and 21 days.
