Case Summary:

Just 38 days after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a gifted consultant from Iran, Texas Service Center approved his case. We have no doubt that our detailed presentation of our client’s strong credentials lent a hand in rapid adjudication. To prove to the USCIS that our client deserved the national interest waiver, here are some of the key points which we presented to them:

We incorporated five recommendation letters that highlighted our client’s research in the field of geographic information science. These letters were contributed by other top researchers in the field and contained statements like this one: “His elite status in the field indicates that he simply cannot be replaced by another researcher, [Client’s] observations and discoveries have placed him at the forefront of the geoinformatics field, where he is sure to remain for the duration of his career.”
Our client’s publication record was also highlighted. At the time of filing, he had already published 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, 9 conference articles, and 1 e-article.
Furthermore, we demonstrated just how important our client’s research is to others working in the field by listing his citation record. When we filed his NIW petition, our client’s work had already gathered 72 citations.
One of the most important elements of our client’s case had to do with his research on geographic information systems, autonomous agents, and disaster preparedness/response. We meticulously proved to the USCIS that his findings directly contribute to the ability to identify buildings that are at risk of collapse during an earthquake and take steps to mitigate damages. Additionally, his research efforts are contributing to the United States’ ability to effectively communicate and coordinate in response to floods, earthquake, search & rescue operations, terrorist attacks, and various other emergency situations.

We congratulate our client on the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition, and we thank him for choosing our law firm to help him with the first step of the green card process.
