dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Biomedical Research
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than a minimally qualified U.S. worker. The AAO determined that simply possessing useful skills or a unique background is insufficient; the petitioner must show that the benefit of their work considerably outweighs the national interest in protecting U.S. workers through the labor certification process.
