sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Mathematics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner established eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework. The Director's initial reason for denial, a supposed failure to submit a required form, was found to be erroneous. The AAO determined the petitioner's work in computational fluid dynamics possessed substantial merit and national importance, and she was well-positioned to advance the endeavor.
