sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner successfully established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest. This decision overturned the director's initial finding, which had denied the petition solely on the grounds that the petitioner failed to meet the criteria for a national interest waiver, despite qualifying as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree.
