dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Forensic Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's work would have a benefit that was national in scope. The director and the AAO found that while the beneficiary's work in developing a forensic science program at a specific university had intrinsic merit, the petitioner did not prove its impact would extend beyond that single institution.
Criteria Discussed
