sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO disagreed with the Director's finding that the proposed benefit of the petitioner's work was not national in scope. The AAO ruled that requiring concrete job offers or pre-arranged plans contradicts the purpose of a national interest waiver and found the petitioner's research in cryptography and data transmission offered sufficient economic and technological benefits on a national scale.
