dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work in molecular simulation was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The AAO determined that the petitioner had not established a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole, and thus could not demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker.
