Case Summary:

An associate professor from Russia engaged the expert services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him with the first step of the two-part green card process- filing an I-140 petition. After carefully evaluating our client’s credentials, we confirmed that he was a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). As soon as our client signed and returned the contract to us, we got to work preparing a convincing EB-2 NIW presentation for him.

Establishing our client’s high standing in the field:

As with all our cases, we worked diligently to compile a wealth of information on our client’s accolades and accomplishments. For instance, we noted his Ph.D. in economics science, the 105 citations to his work and the 52 publications to his name. We also noted the 100 times our client reviewed the work of his peers. We established that not many other researchers can attain such effectual research results and that his findings on tourism development, finance and taxation, and information communications technologies in the hospitality industry is of great importance because of the growing global importance of the global tourism industry.

Gathering additional evidence:

To strengthen our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, we asked him to persuade his peers to help out. We needed them to sign recommendation letters that verified the importance of our client’s research not just to other researchers but to the nation as a whole. 4 experts agreed to advocate for the approval of our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, one of whom described his work as: “[Client’s] research benefits the realistic application of economic theory into modern business practices. By addressing prevalent economic conditions such as federal financial support and the effect of indirect taxes, he has bolstered the resources made available to both the public and the private sector. As а result, [client’s] research plays а hand in promoting economic prosperity in realistic economies. ”

Obtaining petition approval:

Although we presented a strong case to the USCIS, our client’s petition was issued a Request For Evidence (RFE). With our experience of securing over 16,000 I-140 approvals, we put together a solid response which eventually led to the case approval after 15 months and 15 days. We congratulate our client for overcoming such a significant hurdle in the green card process and we wish him well as he continues to progress the important field of economics.
