sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Corrosion Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director erred in their analysis. The AAO first established that the petitioner, holding a Ph.D., qualifies as an advanced degree professional. It then determined that the petitioner's work in corrosion engineering for national infrastructure met the first two prongs of the national interest waiver test (substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope), contrary to the Director's negative findings.
Criteria Discussed
