Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a Postdoctoral Research Scientist from Iran in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. His work has focused specifically on characterization and processing, specifically on Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (Co-Ni-Ga FSMAs), nanostructured materials synthesis, and graphene and graphite technology. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to Materials Science and Engineering, including 5 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 17 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. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client] stands as a leader in a field where few have the requisite interdisciplinary background in materials science and mechanical engineering to contribute as meaningfully as he has to the international community through cutting-edge research of the atomic mechanisms and physical processes of smart materials and their fabrication…I can say that [client] is an internationally recognized scientist who actively participates in reestablishing U.S. technology edge in the field. His contributions are highly valuable for the future of the all-important U.S. manufacturing industry.” 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 5 months and 1 day.
