Case Summary:
The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a graduate student researcher and PhD student from Iran, who was living in California. His work had focused on developing software programs for use in cloud and grid computing used by major companies and government entities. His achievements are absolutely essential to countries like the USA, where Information Technology (IT) infrastructure is a major concern.  As a software engineer, he has developed a number of software applications that have been used by industry and government to improve their efficiency. He has also conducted exceptional research on novel methods for the design of cloud-based computing software that have already had a significant impact on his field of research. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field of Software Engineering would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 5 peer-reviewed journal publications, 4 book chapters, 1 edited book and 14 peer-reviewed conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 35 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. He has also contributed his services as a reviewer for a book, 2 book chapters, 37 conference papers, and 13 articles for 5 distinct peer-reviewed journals. The inherent merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, But please allow me to state plainly that [Client]’s work has seen excellent implementation in his native country of Iran at both a local and national level. Several of his software applications have been used to solve real world problems for clients and improve the lives of the citizens of Iran. This is the most that one can ask for from a computer scientist: To have your work directly benefit people out in the world.  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 petition was approved in 4 months and 17 days.

Recently, the USCIS has accelerated its case adjudicating time at the 2nd quarter of 2014, which is reflected in the number of case approvals of our firm. To be more specific, we at North America Immigration Law Group have received 29 EB1A, 9 EB1B, and 66 NIW approval notices in May, 2014. In addition, in June we have received 20 EB1A, 4 EB1B, and 45 NIW approval notices. As for July, we have received 41 EB1A, 3 EB1B, and 44 NIW approval notices. Furthermore, in August we have received 32 EB1A, 6 EB1B, and 44 NIW approval notices. Most recently, in September we have received 44 EB1A, 8 EB1B, and 78 NIW approval notices. In total, we have received more than 614 approval notices from January 2014 to September 2014, which makes us one of the leading U.S. immigration law firms with high volume of approval cases and high approval rate in EB1A, EB1B, and NIW I-140 immigration petitions.   For more information about our approved cases, please see: http://www.wegreened.com/eb1_niw_approvals   We are also pleased to announce that we have more than 600 EB1 and NIW case approvals in the year of 2013. In 2013, we got more than 516 physical approval notices of EB1 and NIW cases with the approval rate exceeding 98.5%*. In addition, we also successfully helped around 70 clients preparing their RFE (Request for Evidence) responses that were originally filed by other law firms or by DIY clients filing the cases themselves. Furthermore, we helped around 30 clients preparing their EB1B cases for their employers to file. In these cases, we are not able to get approval notices as we are not the attorney on record.
We provide the most comprehensive service for NIW and EB1 petitions, including drafting the recommendation letters (from scratch), drafting the petition letter and responding to RFE. Our staff keeps close track of the latest immigration trends and regulations of USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services), decisions of AAO (Administrative Appeal Office) and judicial review opinions. The massive collected materials contribute to the most convincing arguments and winning strategies of our firm for EB1A, EB1B, and NIW petitions.
