dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO found the petitioner's work had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, it determined the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not establish a past record of achievement influencing the field as a whole, and therefore did not prove he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
