dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Environmental Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. While the petitioner's work in environmental science was found to have substantial intrinsic merit and be national in scope, their record of achievement, including publications and a limited citation history, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate the required level of influence on the field as a whole.
Criteria Discussed
