sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO, applying the Dhanasar framework, found the beneficiary's work as a lead software engineer for a nationally funded cyberinfrastructure project had both substantial merit and national importance. The AAO determined that the beneficiary was well-positioned to advance the endeavor and that, on balance, waiving the job offer and labor certification requirement would be beneficial to the United States.
