dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Environmental Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While his work was found to be in an area of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, he did not establish that his past achievements demonstrated a significant influence on his field as a whole, which is necessary to project future benefit to the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a qualified U.S. worker.
