sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Mechanical Engineering

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided compelling evidence, including letters from independent experts and industry leaders, demonstrating the significant influence and adoption of his research on shot peening within the aerospace industry. The evidence established that his numerical models were considered revolutionary, had become an industry standard, and solved long-standing problems, which satisfied the requirement that he would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
