sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that his past record of achievements justified projections of future benefit to the U.S. national interest. The evidence showed the petitioner made significant breakthroughs in nanotechnology and surface physics, such as fabricating a uniquely large step-free silicon surface and advancing the study of fullerine molecules, which was deemed to be of a significance substantially greater than a U.S. worker with minimum qualifications.
