sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Green Technology
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, agreeing that the beneficiary's work had substantial merit and was national in scope, but finding insufficient evidence that the beneficiary's past achievements influenced the field as a whole. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided evidence, including patents, industry articles, and expert letters, which successfully demonstrated the beneficiary's significant past contributions and impact on the printer cartridge remanufacturing industry, thereby satisfying the third prong of the national interest waiver test.
