dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because while the petitioner's work in biomaterials and orthopaedics was considered to have intrinsic merit and national scope, the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her contributions were of such unusual significance that she merits a national interest waiver, over and above the visa classification she seeks. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate a past history of achievement with some degree of influence on the field as a whole.
Criteria Discussed
