Case Summary:

In this case, the client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from China. Her work had touched on a variety of topics including agronomy and neuroscience. We successfully demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would benefit those in her 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 her highly significant contributions to her field, including 14 peer-reviewed journal articles, one first authored book chapter, and numerous conference papers and abstracts. At the time we filed her case, her publications had been cited at least 110 times; nearly all of these citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The impact of her work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “By providing critical information about the way that plants adapt to certain conditions, [her] research has a fundamental impact on basic science of agriculture, which is one of the largest industries contributing to the national economy in the United States. Her work also illuminates the research on essential nutrients in animals and helps us to better understand their functions.” 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. Her NIW petition was approved in 5 months and 23 days.
