What North America Immigration Law Group does

North America Immigration Law Group (operating as WeGreened.com and Chen Immigration Law Associates) is a U.S. immigration law firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with additional offices in Cambridge (MA), Pasadena (CA), and Austin (TX). The firm specializes exclusively in employment-based immigration, with a portfolio centered on I-140 immigrant petitions including EB-2 National Interest Waiver, EB-1A Extraordinary Ability, EB-1B Outstanding Researcher/Professor, EB-1C Multinational Executive, and O-1 visas, alongside adjacent services such as PERM labor certification, I-485 adjustment of status, H-1B, L-1, E-1/E-2, and J-1 waivers. Clients are individual foreign nationals — predominantly researchers, academics, professionals of extraordinary ability, entrepreneurs, and physicians — served across all 50 U.S. states and 120+ countries.

The firm's core differentiator is a data-driven case strategy system built on analysis of more than 64,000 approved I-140 petitions, which informs officer-specific intelligence tracking, RFE/NOID prevention analytics, appeal likelihood modeling, and an "anti-template" custom petition drafting methodology. Underpinning this is the Approval or Refund® service — a USPTO-registered contractual guarantee (Registration No. 86150599) offering a full refund of attorney fees if an eligible petition is not approved — combined with a free 24-hour evaluation funnel and a publicly searchable database of approval notices for transparency. Between January 2012 and December 2025 the firm reports a 98% overall success rate across 52,753 cases under the guarantee.

The business model is professional services revenue from attorney fees on individual case engagements, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or public listing. Go-to-market is attorney-led and digital-first: clients submit free evaluations via the multilingual WeGreened.com website (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese) or via a toll-free line with a Chinese hotline extension, supplemented by in-person consultations at the four physical offices. Lead generation relies on content marketing, SEO, a 1,500+ post knowledge center, and word-of-mouth referrals, with cumulative approvals growing from ~600 in 2013 to nearly 64,000 by 2025. The firm is led by Victoria Chen and operates without disclosed subsidiaries, M&A activity, or external capital.
