dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Materials Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work in materials research was found to have intrinsic merit and be national in scope, they failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The petitioner did not establish a past history of achievement with influence on the field as a whole sufficient to prove they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
Criteria Discussed
Substantial Intrinsic Merit National In Scope Serving The National Interest To A Substantially Greater Degree Than A U.S. Worker
