Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was hired to file both an EB2- NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition and an I-485 application for an associate engineer from Iran. Our client chose to file the latter while his petition was pending approval. His credentials include an M.Sc. and a Ph.D., both in civil engineering. When we filed his NIW case, his 5 published papers had collected almost 30 citations.

The team at North America Immigration Law Group worked diligently to help our client get his green card. The I-140 petition we prepared for him included recommendation letters from civil engineering specialists, all of whom attested to the fact that our client’s work is of intrinsic merit to the United States. One of our client’s recommenders wrote, “This is all especially impressive when one takes note of the fact that there are very few studies, and even fewer researchers, focused on sediment transport, particularly mud flocculation, in the way that [Client] is. Though he operates in a niche field, [Client’s] research has applications that extend beyond civil engineering alone and into industry and water treatment processes as well.” Besides these testimonials, we also incorporated summaries of our client’s research projects, all of which focus on the dynamics of cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport in rivers, deltas, estuaries, and coastal shelves to better predict the growth and settling rates of mud flocculates.

Our strong case proved to the USCIS that our client’s work is important to the nation and to other scientists in his field. Recently, we got news of his both his I-140 and I-485 approval. We congratulate our client on receiving his green card and wish him well in his continued research endeavors in the United States.
