dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The Director and the AAO found that while the petitioner's work was in an area of merit and national scope, the evidence did not establish that he had a history of demonstrable achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole. His contributions to educational projects lacked evidence of widespread implementation or significant impact, and his volunteer activities were not considered evidence of influence.
