sustained EB-2 NIW Case: Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the petitioner failed to establish sufficient impact and influence on his field to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner's record, which included highly cited publications and strong testimonials about the practical applications of his research in treating diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, demonstrated a significant enough influence to warrant the waiver.
