sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Geodesy
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that his work in geodetic science was in the national interest. Evidence, including a detailed witness letter from the National Geodetic Survey, established that his research in gravimetric geodesy and his role in the GRAV-D project are of great importance to the National Spatial Reference System, with critical applications for flood monitoring and determining sea-level changes.
