dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biochemistry And Molecular Biology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that they would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The director found that the petitioner's qualifications, while making them a valuable researcher, could be articulated on an application for a labor certification. The petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with a degree of influence on the field as a whole sufficient to warrant bypassing the labor certification process.
