Case Summary:
“Through his work on analysis and model prediction of streamflow data, [Client] has provided the field with a better understanding of how environmental changes influence the ecosystems on which humans depend. His work provides information necessary to determine the best practices for water management and resource allocation […] to optimize emission control programs and other policies designed to reduce the impact of climate change.”
This quote detailing our client’s research efforts is excerpted from a testimonial contributed by an experienced environmental scientist in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case. This letter, and several others, was included in North America Immigration Law Group’s skillfully prepared presentation to the USCIS.
Our EB-2 NIW petition packet highlighted our client’s work on the direct and indirect effects of climate change, management, and land use and land cover change on forested ecosystems. We demonstrated how his research offers information on understanding and devising informed strategies and policies for mitigation of the devastating effects of climate change. Not only does our client’s work protect the United States’ forested ecosystems, their resultant goods and services, and therefore the economy, it also benefits the global environment.
Our petition also detailed our client’s doctoral degree and his citation and publication record, which at the time of filing stood at 57 and 6 respectively. We are glad that our diligent efforts assisted in the approval of this NIW case. We are currently helping our client file an I-485 application and we wish him the best in obtaining his green card.
