dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the national interest waiver as of the petition's filing date. The petitioner relied heavily on accomplishments and evidence that post-dated the filing, which cannot be considered for eligibility. While the petitioner's work was found to be in an area of intrinsic merit and national in scope, they did not prove a past record of achievement that would justify the waiver at the time of filing.
