dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Environmental Engineering
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 evidence, including scholarly writings and witness letters, showed the petitioner was a productive researcher but did not establish that the wider scientific community had significantly responded to or relied upon his work, making his future benefit to the national interest speculative.
