sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner demonstrated that his work met the three-prong test for a national interest waiver. The AAO found his research in optical technologies has substantial intrinsic merit and national scope. The petitioner's strong track record, including numerous publications, significant citations, and influential research, justified the projection that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
