dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO determined that the evidence, particularly witness letters and media mentions, exaggerated the impact and importance of the petitioner's research. The assertions of 'great impact' were not supported by the actual text of the cited publications, undermining the claim of influence required for a national interest waiver.
