dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Bioinformatics
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. Although the petitioner's field of bioinformatics was found to have intrinsic merit and national scope, the record of past achievements was not strong enough to justify projections of future benefit. Specifically, the evidence lacked letters from independent experts, proof of wide citations, and the petitioner's most significant work had not yet been published at the time of filing.
