dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Organic And Sustainable Agriculture
Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed the dismissal, finding the petitioner had not established sufficient national impact. The petitioner's publications had minimal citations, and the argument that his work was primarily practical rather than academic was unpersuasive. Additionally, the petitioner left the job that was the basis for the waiver claim and failed to provide information about his current employment, preventing the assessment of prospective national benefit.
