sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner, a postdoctoral research associate, established that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. The AAO found the petitioner's work in condensed matter physics to be of substantial intrinsic merit and national in scope, and that his past record of achievements, including significant publications and strong witness letters, justified projections of future benefit to the national interest.
