sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Computational Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner's evidence demonstrated sufficient influence on his field to meet the requirements for a national interest waiver. The Director had incorrectly concluded that the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the NYSDOT analysis, but the AAO found that the petitioner's development of novel computational methods, praised by independent experts and applied by major companies and for military purposes, established his eligibility.
