sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Physics
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner, a university, established that the beneficiary's work in physics was in the national interest. The AAO found that the beneficiary, considered a top expert in nuclear spin physics, would play a leading role in a crucial research program at a national facility, and that waiving the labor certification requirement was justified.
