Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a research scientist from India. His work had focused specifically on the diverse factors that contribute to atherosclerosis. 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 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (six of them first-authored) and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 31 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, “[Client’s] research provides significant new findings that are shaping the future of the medical field and are major steps toward being able to effectively manage and treat cardiovascular diseases. The importance of this work really cannot be overstated, as these diseases, as I mentioned, are the primary cause of death all around the world. I am sure that [client] will continue to be a highly active and significant researcher in the study of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Keeping such a resource as [client] will certainly be a benefit to your country.” 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 4 months and 11 days.
