Case Summary:

The exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with in this case was a Reservoir Engineer from Iran working in the field of petroleum engineering. His work had specifically focused on the areas of carbon dioxide sequestration, calculating pattern allocation factors, and petroleum reservoir engineering. As the United States is one of the largest consumers of energy in the world, his research provides critical solutions to the serious detrimental effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are causing the temperature of the earth to rise, leading to severe climate change and the eventual unsustainability of food crops and water supplies. We demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his 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 petroleum engineering, including at least 4 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and 9 conference presentations. His publications had been independently cited at least 83 times at the time of case filing, clearly demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his field. The value of his work is summarized by the following quote from an independent recommender, “[He] is one of the early pioneers in CO₂ storage technology. This work has far- reaching affects beyond the immediate benefits from the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The supply chain for CCS will create a large variety of jobs, requiring core engineering and manufacturing sectors, pipeline design, operation of CO₂ storage, exploration and site characterization, injection well construction and a variety of management opportunities. Developing networks of CCS pipeline networks will enable local prosperity through the longevity of regional industries.” 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. His NIW application was approved in just over 6 months.
