sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Management Information Systems
Decision Summary
The director had already conceded that the petitioner's work had substantial intrinsic merit and was national in scope. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner's past achievements, including developing new models for information systems, receiving moderate citations, and having a paper nominated for a Best Paper Award, were sufficient to demonstrate that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
