dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third prong of the national interest waiver test. Although the director and AAO agreed that the petitioner's work in food science has substantial intrinsic merit and is national in scope, the petitioner did not prove he would benefit the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker, as he failed to demonstrate influence beyond his immediate circle of colleagues.
Criteria Discussed
