dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biological Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the third prong of the national interest waiver test. While her work in drug screening and cancer treatment was found to have intrinsic merit and national scope, her past record of one moderately cited study and other research that had not yet influenced the field was deemed insufficient to prove she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
