dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Fluid Mechanics And Heat Transfer
Decision Summary
The petitioner met the first two prongs of the national interest waiver test: her work has substantial intrinsic merit and is national in scope. However, the appeal was dismissed because she failed to meet the third prong, which requires establishing that she will serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The evidence was insufficient to demonstrate a history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole.
