dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Atmospheric Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test, which requires showing she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's record of four publications and a handful of citations, mostly from her immediate circle, was insufficient to prove a past history of achievement that had influenced the field as a whole.
