Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a research assistant from Iran. His work had focused specifically on tissue engineering, biocompatible scaffold fabrication, polymerization, and biomaterials. 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 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of them first-authored), 3 book chapters, and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 99 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, “Transplants, including scaffolds, are known to enhance the risk of infections and these serious infections can cause implant failure, hospitalization and even patient mortality. Therefore, the development of antibacterial scaffolds are an important step in creating more successful transplants and reducing patient mortality after transplantation. I feel [client’s] research is vital to the U.S. in terms of biomedical technology and public health and therefore, to lose [client] would be detrimental to the U.S.” 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 3 months and 23 days.
