dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While the Director found the petitioner's work had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope, the petitioner did not establish that his impact and influence on his field would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than an available U.S. worker. The evidence, including reference letters and patent certificates, was deemed insufficient to corroborate claims about the significant impact of his inventions and research on the field as a whole.
