sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Animal Nutrition
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner, a postdoctoral researcher in animal nutrition and aquaculture, did establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The director had initially denied the petition on this basis, but the AAO, upon review of the petitioner's work on endangered fish species and environmental contaminants, reversed the decision.
