Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a research assistant from Iran working in the field of mechanical engineering. Her studies and discoveries had been focused specifically on the minimization of entropy generation and fluid mechanics. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of mechanical engineering, including at least 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals. Her publications had been cited at least 62 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Entropy generation minimization (EGM) is a method of modeling real processes and equipment using the basic principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer and optimization. [Client] is well versed in these concepts and possesses in-depth knowledge on some of the most elaborate and sophisticated interworkings of mechanical engineering. As a result, she has undertaken trailblazing research on this topic, forging new ground for other researchers to follow in her footsteps. EGM has applications in many different fields, from cryogenic facilities, thermal transfer as well as storage and conversion of solar energy to electric power plants and refrigeration plants. [Client’s] research is of the utmost importance because optimizing the features of thermodynamic systems results in many potential benefits such as lower costs of production and maintenance.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in 4 ½ months.
