sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Biometrics And Forestry
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition after finding that the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner submitted new evidence detailing past achievements, including a significant science and technology award from China's Ministry of Forestry for work that produced a significant economic effect, which persuaded the AAO that the petitioner's work would benefit the national interest to a greater extent than a U.S. worker with minimum qualifications.
