dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a waiver of the job offer requirement was in the national interest. While the petitioner's collaborators provided strong letters, there was a lack of evidence of influence beyond his immediate circle, as all witnesses were collaborators and not independent referrers. Furthermore, objective evidence such as citations to his work was very weak, failing to demonstrate the level of influence required for a national interest waiver.
