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 would be in the national interest. While the petitioner's work in cancer research was acknowledged, the evidence, including publications with a low number of independent citations and recommendation letters primarily from close associates, was deemed insufficient to prove that the petitioner would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker.
