dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Polymer Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a U.S. worker with the same minimum qualifications. The AAO found that the testimonial letters primarily came from the petitioner's supervisors and collaborators, which was insufficient to prove widespread influence or impact in the field beyond his immediate professional circle.
