dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Intellectual Property Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility at the time the petition was filed. The decision noted that subsequent achievements, such as obtaining a law degree and passing the bar exam after the filing date, could not retroactively establish eligibility. The petitioner's record at the time of filing did not sufficiently demonstrate a past history of achievement to justify a national interest waiver.
