Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a freelance motion designer/animator from Taiwan working in the field of design and animation. Her work had focused primarily on the use of design and animation technologies and skills to develop creative projects, including short animations, commercials, interactive web-based content, broadcast show package designs, and title sequences. 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 design and animation, including many extraordinary works that place her among the most recognized firms and individuals in the world. As a result of her contributions to these projects which had been distributed both nationally and internationally, it was clear that she had a sustained and significant influence upon her field as a whole. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] design and animation work has constantly astounded the world due to her fine grasp of visual impact and animation realism. Top studios have often relied upon her input, including for major projects such as the title text for [a recent top-grossing film]. She is undeniably an influential figure in the field, and I believe that her future work will be equally impressive and impactful, with significant effect on the American branch of the design and animation industries.” 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 just 11 weeks.
