sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Chemistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found that the petitioner's work in chemistry was of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, and that her past record, including highly cited publications in top-tier journals and strong letters of support, justified projections of future benefit to the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
